Glider Ride
Brian.. welcome to soaring, you can also track soaring events on
rec.aviation.soaring news group. www.ssa.org BT "Brian Sponcil" wrote in message ... As a favor to our local A&P (he was also paying me) I drove down to Florida to pick up a glider tail section from Barry Aviation (http://www.barryaviation.com/). The nice folks there decided that after a 20+ hour drive I definitely needed to go soaring. In ten years of flying planes I've gotten into the habit of only going up when I have a destination in mind. Maybe I was just tired of driving but flying that glider brought back all of the thrill and satisfaction of floating in the air for its own sake. If you haven't done it, I'd put it on your list of things to try, if for no other reason than to experience how quiet flying can actually be. I think I might try an ultralight next.... -Brian Iowa City, IA N33431 |
