Non- motorized flight? Humm. Not really sure how that works. Hot air and updrafts or something like that. Well, I finally go to find out today. Outside of Durango I took my first glider ride. It was really a cool experience. I have survived many a crappy landing during my "flying days", but was never in a place were you got to soar like the birds and didn't get much of a mulligan if you screwed up the landing. Stephane was great and he did let me land which I managed to do with a video camera in my hand. Ok, he was not too happy about that or the "weeds" at the end of the runway but we survived and I got my deposit back. What are air brakes on a glider anyway.... All in all a great experience. If you get the chance.... go shoot the bird....in a glider I mean. Stay tuned for the video in a couple of days.
