The gliders never really attracted me much.
But I've often heard from other pilots that flying a glider is a special feeling.
And 99% of these people told me that the most unusual thing about flying on a glider is silence. When there is no engine noise, when only you are around, the wind and the clean, unclouded nature of non-motorized flight. For a long time, I put the whole thing on the back burner, but then suddenly one of my friends went flying on a glider and enthusiastically talk about it.
Then I met my Ukrainian friend and student, who also turned out to be a fan of gliders. Then I suddenly found myself in a crowd of Russian-speaking pilots at the Sun'n'Fun exhibition and there were a lot of glider fans there. And all this is intertwined in such a tangle when it is simply indecent to pull further - you have to take and try.
I ended up at HomeStead, 20 miles south of Miami, home of one of Florida's glider schools, and preparing for my glider flight - and all this to share a new video with you all.
Like the video and share the link with your friends.
If you are still hesitant to fly or can't afford flying on airplanes or helicopters start your flying journey with a glider. This is a great way to take your first step into aviation.
