From 1979 until late 2020, pretty much all I did was fly daily for a series of commercial soaring outfits. I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend my time on Earth, than showing fellow humans how to float in the sky. Then along came covid, and the aft seat of tight cockpits where ventilation flows front to back, was too scary a place for this septuagenarian. I decided that at 15,000 hours I’d had enough fun, and it was time to hang ‘em up.
This book is my farewell gift to the soaring community, dedicated to those who have received standard glider training, but are seeking more information to make their soaring experience richer and safer. Come celebrate with me, I won’t stay a septuagenarian forever!
