I had my private pilot's license and had not flown on a private plane for a long time. Not knowing what to expect on a plane without an engine, I was slightly hesitant when I received this gift. As the glider was towed to an altitude of 5000 feet and the tow rope was released, it was an amazing experience just being able to stay aloft for over 30 minutes and seeing the beautiful desert landscape as far as 125 miles away. I was able to fly this magnificent glider just like I did in my past experience, and would not hesitate for one moment to do this again. As a matter of fact, I'm planning to go up on the glider again!
