This was the best fun we’ve had in a long time. We spent many hours in the air during the 10 years in remote medicine, and it’s still a big buzz to take off. I’ve always wanted to go gliding, never had the chance. Wonderful experience – no noise for a start, and the plane – a $190,000 German glider, was light and responsive. Took a while to get used to turning and so on, but toward the end of the flight it started to feel natural. Might just do it again….
Happy Sally pre-take off.
