Have you ever wondered what glider pilots do?
This introductory flight provides a great overview of the sport of gliding. New students are introduced to the world of soaring with an "Air Experience Flight."
The experienced instructor takes the backseat so you can enjoy the spectacular views and have a go at the controls.

I admire instructors who can talk through the manoevres etc. logically and sequentially, at the same time doing it themselves. Great video and great teaching of the student/passenger.

Thank you for not embellishing the video with music. I will share this to inspire some friends to take up glider flying as I did back in the 70's

This video of an actual intro glider flight is the MOST IMMERSIVE video I've EVER watched on KZfaq! I would LOVE to take a REAL intro glider flight SOMEDAY...before I pass on. I've always dreamed of flying a glider/sailplane since I was a child, and now, here's yet ANOTHER item to add to my EVER-GROWING "bucket list"! Thank you, and GOD BLESS! :-)

I only wish I had an instructor like him back in the 90s. I'm 73 now, and I intend to have one last chance to enjoy.

Great instructor. Love the specifics he gives you like how he follows the tows wings or how you need to let the plane land itself to avoid bouncing

I had the feeling you are good enough to handle the stick for take off too. I liked your flight all the time. Thank you for not adding music.

Great student ! He got the gentle pressures and subtle movements involved on the stick straight away .

Very informative instructional video. I’ve got to go up on an introduction flight . Last two weekends the instructor was too busy. The third time is the charm, I hope.
