It was a beautiful day Saturday so I took a cruise out to Richmond Field near Gregory, MI, the home of the Sandhill glider club. I ended up chatting with Fred who was getting ready for a flight. It turns out he has been doing this for 22 years and he is now 89 years old!!! He has crewed at Elmira, NY, home of the glider museum and also has flown out west in the mountains. Amazing guy! (The second picture will rotate if you click to enlarge. Don't know how to fix it.)

It's on my list to get some Sailplane time. If you want to learn how to manage energy, that's how I've been told.
Cool pictures! |
