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.
