Taupo Gliding (5) 12. 07.15
Akira's 5th training flight, once again in the club's ASK-21 'TG'.
Flying around Mt Tauhara and overhead the Taupo Motorsport Park. The weather was lovely but sadly the lift was not. No thermals and a distinct lack of ridge lift. The instructor for this flight was John from the Taupo Gliding club. Flight duration only 13 minutes.

Taupo Glider Club - loop in an ASK-21
Went up for a ride for almost an hour in Taupo, including probably 10-20 minutes of me flying the glider. This is one of the several loops that we did. Crazy fun.
Glider is a Schleicher ASK 21.
Thanks to Bill K. and everyone at the Taupo Glider Club(taupoglidingclub.co.nz) for one of the most fun experiences I've had in New Zealand.

New Sensation - Gliding in New Zealand
This is a video based around the Summer crew's season instructing at Wellington Gliding Club, Paraparaumu, NZ.
Summer crew: Laszlo, Michael, Ross, Jake (me).
This is in fact WGC's last season based in Paraparaumu and so I made this video as a bit of a commemoration as well as a summary of our season. Hope you enjoy.
I have another video coming soon including clips from all my flying experiences in NZ at sites including Paraparaumu, Omarama, Taupo and Waipukurau.
Soundtrack is New Sensation by INXS.

Gliding at Taupo 14 June 2011
Turbulent approach - Taupo
Gliding ops ended due to strong crosswinds (20-30 kts), while we were still in the air. I took this as we headed for an unconventional landing on runway 22, right into the rotor coming off Mt Tauhara in front. Camera was held in both hands, but boy, were we bounced around!
