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

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!

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...

:lol:Very Cool - :lol:

Don't know the trivia answer!

Nice shots glider - make sure Blackwolf isn't in the air with you though, he might get nervous!
 
Him Nervous!! How would you feel?
 
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?
 
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.
 
Isnt there some sort of height restriction in gliders???
 
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.
