I went up today on my first ever glider flight... when he disconnected the tow rope and we pulled off in the other direction, I said F'me that was cool. So he said "Do you want to fly it?" Maybe next time... I have never seen gliders, I had no idea what the process was, so I did not feel the need to impress anyone by grabbing the stick. It was a fun ride and it was in an old glider with an old (experienced) pilot at the controls.

 

Cool!!

 

Wow, Dave! What's next, sky diving?

 

Cool,Dave.

 

Looks like fun Dave!

 

Excellent! Glad you enjoyed.

 

Took a 1 1/2 hour glider flight as a B’day gift in 2011 that was launched from the Boulder, CO Airport. It was an amazing flight with a few aerobatic maneuvers thrown in. The Colorado mountain range and prairie sunrise views were spectacular. Hope that you were as totally engrossed over your flight as I was! I love, loved it!

 

Or bungee ???

 

Gliders: Sailboats of the sky.

I'm green with envy.

 

I've flown a couple times. The last time we caught some awesome thermals and stayed up over 2 hours! I loved the sound of the air passing over the wings.
