My first flight


I had my first gliderflight in Hoogeveen. Michiel was my instructor and he learned me to fly my first turns. It was a great experience and in the spring of next year I will star my lessons for my license.

That is wonderful. And you look great in that cockpit, too.

I once spent a holiday weekend volunteering at a glider club "fly-in" connecting the tow cable and supporting a wing during takeoff (I was a LOT younger and in good enough condition to run a hundred meters 30 or 50 times in a day). My reward was a half hour flight each evening before sundown.

While I never got a license, I still hire a glider ride any chance I get.
