Sailplaning
http://www.genosplace.org/sailplaneweb/sailplaning.html
My friend John and I went sailplaning with the Fault Line Flyers. A good pilot can fly from thermal to thermal using clouds as a guide. Since a sail plane can't take off under its own power, it must be towed aloft by a plane, in my case, the one pictured above. When I first saw this plane, it reminded me of a replica of a WWII P-51 airplane, except without the struts. That's me in the cockpit in front of Vince, the pilot. In the picture on the right, you can see I'm wearing a. Back to Geno's Home.

Sailplaning 2
http://www.genosplace.org/sailplane2/sailplane2.html
My friend John and I went sailplaning with the Fault Line Flyers. In Briggs, Texas for a 2nd time. This time I flew in what is known as the Grob (pronounced grobe), pictured above. This is a high performance sailplane. It has perhaps a 30/1 glide ratio, which means for every 30 feet of forward movement it only looses 1 foot of elevation compared to the 233. One of the club members holds the wing level as we are about to be towed. Here we are right after take off. I wore my Adventure Cam II from Viosport.

Gliding | I'm Not Yet Dead
https://imnotyetdead.wordpress.com/2014/05/07/gliding
I'm Not Yet Dead. Headlines in a Math Literate World. May 7, 2014. After last week, it was time for an adventure. So my friend Chad and I drove out to the Fault Line Flyers. Air strip and got a ride in a glider with our pilot friend, Gonzo. It was a beautiful day so we decided to ride there on Chad’s motorcycle. It was way better than taking my car, but let’s just say the right half of my body is now tanner than the left half. Pesky sun. The glider is connected to the tow plane by a rope and then the pla...

Finkel's Foto Fusion: August 2011
http://finkelsfotofusion.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
A blog about photography, travel, and the other musings of David Finkel. Monday, August 8, 2011. What goes up must come down. What goes down sometimes comes up. Perhaps you may know that I have an interest in aviation and have had getting a pilot’s license on my “to do” list for a while. However, I never seem to get this far enough up the list to really do anything about it other than talk to friends who are already pilots. Justin spotted a hawk or buzzard circling below and told me that this is one of ...
