The Rio Grande
Soaring Association is dedicated to the sport of hang gliding and
paragliding in southern New Mexico and West Texas. We have many
launch sites in both states. We conduct platform truck towing (HG) from
the Las Cruces city airport,
reflex stationary towing (PG & HG) from a sod farm near Santa Teresa, and payout
towing (PG & HG) on NM Hwy 9. Our main flying site is
Dry Canyon which is just east of
Alamogordo. It includes a 5 acre LZ which we lease from the city of
Alamogordo. The RGSA works with the city of Alamogordo, the Lincoln
National Forest, and Franklin Mountains State Park of El Paso, TX to
keep our local flying sites open. The RGSA is a chapter member (#41) of
the United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association. We
carry 3rd party liability insurance provided by USHPA to protect our flying sites.
