Secondly how did you start flying gliders, and how long have you been gliding?
I’ve been Gliding since the first of September 2018 and I started because my Great Grandpa (link to a post about him at the bottom) got me a Virgin Experience for my Birthday. I was a bit anxious to go but when I landed after the 25 min flight, I knew I needed to do this more often… and so I did!
The but you’ve all Been waiting for, the solo
I was expecting to be very nervous about the flight and expected to be nervous when I got up. But the scariest part was being pushed to the runway for the Aerotow.
Once I was on the short ground roll I was perfectly relaxed (to my surprise) and finished the flight after 14 minutes of flight (and one of the best landings I’ve ever done).
Now I know what the most interesting part of IF threads is, the pictures
Congratulations! This is awesome to see. Hopefully this summer I’ll able to complete my glider solo. Thanks for sharing and best of luck on your future endeavors!
Congratulations! Hopefully the first of many solos. Flying solo in a glider is truly like nothing else, just you, the plane, and the air whizzing by. I’m excited to see the rest of your adventures! Good luck!
