Gliding Course - Yet another one! (PLUS VIDEO)

Postby EGNX » Fri May 09, 2008 6:27 pm

Just back from a 4 day gliding course at RAF Syerston. What else can I say other than it was an excellent course with the most fantastic weather! I'm only a couple of launches away from becoming an instructor now and i've been doing themalling (1 hour 20 mins), aerotows, aerobatics and spinning! It's been ACE!



So here's a selection of pics:

Gliding is so fun, I wish I could get another chance to do it!
