Took my intro ride today. Thanks to Tony for the hook up. It was a good time and am looking forward to getting my rating. The club is a little ways away from me, but it was well worth the drive. the very first thing I noticed, is that glider pilots thrive on the other that powered pilots despise. Another thing I noticed, those things are small!! Flight started out the a 2,000 foot aero tow. We just flew in the area of the airport and kept catching thermals around there and got 4,000 feet above the ground. Stayed aloft a little over two hours and called it a day. Everybody is right, if you want to learn what your feet are for, fly a glider.
