My previous gliding club was home for the US 4077 many years ago, and reunions are still held there every couple of years.

A few years back one of the elderly attendees took up the option of a glider flight. After the instructor flew the launch, the lapsed US pilot flew the remainder of the flight, including landing with a few minor prompts.

Afterwards he revealed that his previous flight had been from the same airfield, in a B17, in 1945.

Given you're a little more current, I'd say it's worth a go.
