Description

Enjoy an ailrplane ride for one person given by Brimmer and May parent Carl Johnson or other certified flight instructor.  The sport of soaring (also called gliding) offers a sense of freedom unique in sports.  Gravity tells you that you have no business staying aloft without an engine, but the sun and the wind can provide a force far stronger than gravity.  Once the pilot releases from the tow plane, all you will hear is the meditative swish of the wind over the wings as the plane climbs skyward.  Depending upon weather conditions, your flight may last only 20 minutes or it may last more than an hour.  The memories of the flight, however, will last a lifetime.

Special Instructions

Flight can take place in Sterling, Massachusettes or Sugarbush, Vermont, spring, summer or fall.
