Fantastic

That's great - the beauty of unpowered flight (and she looks good too) without being spoilt with an effing rock soundtrack - just the sound of the wind around the glider.

Very nice! My stomach dicatates that I stick to conventional soaring but it's always a thrill to see those lovely birds going every which way.

If you want to see real glider aerobatics come along to Dunstable Downs next weekend Sat & Sun 29/30 March for the Dan Smith competition. Any help on the judging line most welcome.
