First Glider Flight
I was in Robert Mudd's shop yesterday and he had a Grob 103, N928BG. He
told me that it came from Hawaii. I just looked in my log book and
found that it was the first glider I ever flew!
My brother took me to Dillingham Field and introduced me to Elmer and,
after talking a while, he gave me the controls and just sat back while I
did the takeoff, tow, ridge flying (with his suggestions), pattern and
landing. I was so thrilled that I came back the next day and flew the
2-33 with with him and, on my 6th glider flight, soloed! What a blast
from the past.
The date was April 13, 1986 and I haven't looked back.
