About Us

Soaring Adventures of America, Inc. was founded by aviation-enthusiast, Rob Wilkinson, in 1980. What started as a small network of gliderports up and down the East Coast has now grown into the largest recreational aviation network in the country. Joined now by his wife and daughter in the business as well as several good friends and hundreds of pilots, "Captain Rob" is still at the helm very much enjoying his work, flying whenever he can, and taking his customers' spirits soaring at our Martha's Vineyard location every summer.

    A Corporation with Heart, The Coatmobile
  
 If you are calling us on a cold day in January, it might take us a
    couple extra rings to come to the phone. Each year, the Soaring
    Adventures headquarters in Wilton, CT temporarily transforms to
    the Soaring Adventures Coatmobile headquarters. Captain Rob
    and his family collect gently used coats from the community and
    distribute them to 16 homeless shelters in Connecticut. It is
    wonderful how regular people can get real things done. To date,
    4,200 coats have been distributed to the homeless and working poor. Everyone on the Soaring Adventures team pitches in receiving coat donations as they come in the front door, folding coats, and organizing them into piles for men, women and children. So, while we will be delighted to take your call in January, we may take a little longer to get to the phone.
