A dream comes true

ຈັດພີມມາ: 23.12.2016

For 40 years, I've had the dream of gliding through the air in a sailplane. Today, unexpectedly, it's going to come true.


The weather gods are on my side, I was able to book a last-minute flight, so it's time to hit the road again. Paul is coming with me....




Omarama is the destination, and this is how it's going to look...

And this is how it looks for now...



Promising......

Gavin, my 'pilot' gives me instructions, parachute on, into the glider

(pretty tight)

and off we go. Hopefully, I won't get sick...

And while I'm enjoying the view from above, Paul is crawling around below....



Insights



Unfortunately, the flight ends sooner than expected due to the lack of sufficient thermals, but I even got the chance to fly myself :) and so, for a change, it's time to hit the road again.
