I put these clips together that my dad took from the backseat of a glider as I
flew and added music!

It's been 20 years since I flew a sailplane, but that brought it all back.
Makes me itch to do it agina :-)

Wow! Great job. I've never been in a sailplane and that was a fun
experience...even if only a video.

Thanks,

Jim

Beautiful, Trace. Made me wish my own 13 year old son had access to a
sailplane...

Where are you based?

Jay... the URL in the web link for the video gives it away..

and it's confirmed by the N-number registration... (hint the N-number can be
seen on the panel in some of the camera shots), looks like it came in from
overseas and it still has other markings on the outside, the N number was
not very noticeable..

Windy City Soaring, Downers Grove IL.
It was registered last year.

Thanks. I was curious, simply because the terrain and weather looked very
mid-western.

Trace is a heckuva kid. I'm gonna have to kick my son off his Playstation
more, and get him into some flight lessons, soon!

I had a good friend, Scotty McCray, who used to fly with me on the airshow
circuit. Scotty used a 222-EK with music in his show and was probably the
best to ever do this. You're following in very good company there Trace. One
of these days we'll have to get together email wise and I'll get you checked
out on spinning that 150.

I haven't been able to find any glider ops nearby -- so I think he'll be
"stuck" flying in powered aircraft for a while.

We just talked about it last night -- he's gonna start this summer.

Closest gliderport to you is in Channahon, Illinois, 150 miles away. :~(

What's 150 miles when your dad owns his own airplane! ;-)

Gives new meaning to the label, "Soccer Mom."

Well, in a Pathfinder, it's a bit over an hour. :~}

Or, "Sailplaning Dad". However, to be official, you must drive a Ford
Aerostar at 35 MPH down the freeway in the left lane.

Excellent! I enjoyed that very much, thanks!

Is the Blackhawk Soaring club in Muscatine still around? Last time I was
there, there were a few sailplanes in the air. I found this link:

Sort of. They go dormant in winter, so it's hard to tell...
