I did it, finally!
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! Tom Stock

Tom Stock 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 )
