Loading ...I went for my first glider flight while in Germany. I’ve always wanted to try it and Stephan arranged for me to fly with the NATO flying club. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to go flying and I am so lucky to have gotten this opportunity. Thomas, my glider pilot, is a NATO AWACS pilot who also flew fighter jets. He has over 10,000 hours. He’s a really nice guy. We soared to about 4,000 feet. I flew for just over an hour and it was a beautiful day. It was really interesting learning the dynamics of flying gliders and I am tempted to get my glider license. Stephan also flew. Both flights were awesome! The video below documents our experience.
