Glider Ride

Item Number: 208
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Riding in a sailplane (or glider, if you prefer) is the purest form of flying there is. You'll be sitting in the front seat of a glider with your pilot flying from the rear seat behind you. As you are towed to altitude behind a towplane, the view will be breath-taking.
Once you have reached your release altitude, your pilot will release the glider from the towrope by pulling a lever, and you will find yourself in motorless, silent flight.
Now you are gently floating through the air, with plenty of time to take in the view. In the small, quiet setting of a sailplane, you will experience the true freedom of the skies!
