Simply stunning. It is the kind of beauty one would think of on their death bed.

Re: for the glider geeks

I tell you what ranch pilot, flying gliders really teaches you to get the most out of your aeroplane, i strongly recommend at least 10 hours in a glider to every pilot. i have 400 hours in them and i reckon they have give me the experience of 2000 hours in anything else.

Re: for the glider geeks

It's always a happy day pulling your glider out of the trailer for the first time in the spring.

New Zealand & the Alps are big bucket list items for me.
