NM True TV - Sundance Glider
The New Mexico True TV Team takes flight, without the assistance of an engine. The Moriarty area is among the best soaring space in the country, with rising columns of air carrying gliders aloft into the blue skies of New Mexico. And this isn't just a spectator activity. Yes, YOU can get on board, and perhaps even briefly take the controls, in one of these stylish aircraft.

Moriarty just south of Historic Route 66. Fly riding columns of rising air called thermals, gliders ascend to astonishing altitudes, and the view from the cockpit is spectacular. We fly year-round in the beautiful New Mexico high desert, and on occasion are even joined by eagles, hawks, and falcons.
