Hi All,
Last week I got to go up in a glider. What they didn't tell me was
that I would actually get to fly it. It was dual control, so the
pilot sat behind me and we both had identical controls. He explained
what to do with the stick and the rudder, and how to manoeuvre the
glider so as to catch thermals.
I took Sendero on the Apex, expecting to be a passenger. During the
flight I was able to hear POI's and streets as we passed, although I
couldn't really concentrate on that in all the excitement. I did get
a replay though, and so can relive the flight, noticing when we hit
eighty miles per hour, changed direction, picked up height and went
over a thousand feet, or passed over different villages, a golf club and so-on.
As ever, Sendero added immeasurably to the enjoyment of the whole
experience. Thanks guys.
Best,
Peter
