[Glider]

Thank you, it is. For those who think that taking of in a glider is a calm sedate affair this may help.

 

[Nonskimmer]

I rode as a passenger in one three times when I was in my late teens, and that's exactly how we took-off. What a rush!

WAR NERVES? WHO SAID WAR NERVES??

Well, I am Mr. P-40... and Wild Bill is one of my alter-egos...

Strangely enough I watched that flick today for the umpteen-zillionth time while keeping an eye on my neices. I'm trying to get them interested in things with wings, but I don't think it's working...


Anyhoo, here's a bit of trivia. 'Wild Bill Kelso' had another name before the film was released. What was it?


Fade to Black...

Very Cool -

Don't know the trivia answer!

Nice shots glider - make sure Blackwolf isn't in the air with you though, he might get nervous!

 

[Glider]

Him Nervous!! How would you feel?

 

[cheddar cheese]

Nice pics guys!

Like that second shot Glider! That could be me in a few months.

 

[Glider]

Good Luck to you, you will love it. That was a cable launch which certainly gets the adrenaline going. Lots of places do airtows which is very different.
Can I ask where your going to fly from?

 

[cheddar cheese]

Im not entirely sure, Plymouth I think. Ill start off in a Grob Tutor, then go on to a Vigilant powered glider (engine gets switiched off during flight) then ill apply for my solo glider wings, by which time ill be able to go up in a cable launched glider.

 

[lesofprimus]

Isnt there some sort of height restriction in gliders???

 

[Pisis]

here was my photo but it's not here anymore

 

[cheddar cheese]

Heres me looking like one of the 2312 sqd. homies

Les If you mean the height of the pilot no there isn't. Some are tighter than others obviously just like a car. The only one I had a problem with was the K21 in the photo. I had to remember to lower myself as we touched down or I would get a nasty crack on the head.
As for height as in altitude anything goes as long as the airspace is free.
