Another road to adventure! Flying sailplanes is a wonderful experience enjoying the quiet of free flight with the increased option for long distance soaring.
My instructors at Sky Sailing have been great so thank you to Grey and Bill…but I do have a lot more to learn!
I have been flying about every 5 days, but I have also been using the glider flight simulator called Condor 2. I didn’t realize how realistic it would be and it really does help as a sim trainer…and it is not easy! Ask anyone who has tried to follow the tow plane on the sim and real life will seem relativity “easy”. A VR headset (such as Oculus) can also be used but haven’t done that yet.

The quality is poor, but it was 1967. I saw it on a big box with a small screen. Disney episodes were one of the few color programs at the time.
My memories of the show are greatly influenced by my kid memory of how much it stoked my interest in sailplanes. It’s dated by today’s standards, but still brings a big smile to my face.
Eventually I will transition to a single place glider such as the Schweitzer 1-26…. can’t wait!
