SOARING!
Jacki took a glider ride today, and I got to go along and watch. Here she is getting strapped in, and ready to go. There are controls in the front for her to operate, although she elected to let the pilot do that job!
Being towed into the sky. You can see that the glider wings are very long and skinny. The gliders weigh almost nothing and are easy to push around on the ground.


Returning to the gliderport.












Jacki gets air and motion sickness very easily, but she said this didn't bother her until they came in for landing. She took pictures from her vantage point, and I image she will have them on her blog soon.

Looks like she had a good time.
