That's something I'd love to do one day - sadly it won't be this year as my

A double diamond...that'd be a good one to get together - mind you if it's a

It's pretty interesting - and satisfying - seeing your kids take up
something you love yourself. Jason and I have shared a few thermals -
sometimes in the same glider, sometimes in different ones. My youngest son
(Nigel) does some power flying, and I well rec

I was reading a glider flight manual recently, and noted that a max rough airspeed was
