Learning To Fly
After 2 weeks of flight training on a Schleicher ASK-21 glider, I got the chance to try some aerobatics near Lake Tahoe!
A glider, or sail plane, does not have an engine and must be towed with a rope by a powered plane before being released. It's fuel is altitude and gravity, slowly descending at a 30:1 slope.
You can gain altitude by finding and circling around an invisible column of rising air called a Thermal, or Lift, but it takes skill and luck. Eagles do this all the time, circling around thermals without needing to flap their wings.
This video was shot with one GoPro Hero3+ and edited with GoPro Studio. Music is the iPhone 6 (Trailer).
Thanks to everyone at Soaring NV (soaringnv.com) for your wonderful hospitality.
