All Inclusive Residential Gliding Courses That Get You Flying A Glider .... FAST
"There is no greater feeling on earth ... to lock into a current of rising air, to harness its awesome power, to cruise effortlessly for mile after mile, soaring higher and higher ... and to realise this is no man made power making this happen .... just man and nature in harmony." The wind just does what it has done for 50 million years. What the glider pilot does is simply learn to co-operate with those natural forces that are all around us. The air is free - and so are we - free as a bird"
