Hi everyone, let it be known that it's official I am now glider
pilot

I finished my practical yesterday for my private glider pilot, so I am
now able to carry some ballast in the form of my daughter.

It took me two years due to family, finances, and work, but I decided
to buckle down and spend an entire week at the glider port without
interruption. It paid off.

Would like to say thanks to Jim Geiger, Knut, Ingrid, & Aaron
Kjenslie, and everyone else at Seminole Lake Gliderport.

I can finally start to really learn a thing or two about flying!

What's the requirement in the USA to be able to carry passengers ? In the
UK, you have to be at least a BI ( Basic Instructor )
