Heritage

Gliding
since 1936

The first gliding attempts in Macedonia date back to 1936 and were made by students of the Skopje boys' grammar school. They flew a "Tsiling" glider, built from plans that members of the Skopje aviation society sourced themselves.

In the years just before WWII, gliding became very popular in Skopje, a tradition that lives on today at the gliders' Training Centre.
