Gliders just fly and go nowhere.

You haven't done much research on gliders/soaring, have you? And it
doesn't have to be a motor glider to go somewhere! You need a way to
launch, Mother Nature needs to be cooperating in at least some small
way, and the pilot needs to know how to use what resources are available
up there. It might be more accurate to say that it's more *about flying*
than about going somewhere, though.
