BERMUDA HIGH SOARING

I flew to Bermuda High Soaring today while the family was away - about an hour and ten minute flight in the C150. Sorry for the old and not so good picture. My wife had the digital camera, so I didn't get any pictures today.

For those of you who have never taken a glider ride, you really should if you ever have the opportunity. Every fixed wing pilot would benefit from a little glider training. Most tricycle gear pilots really have limited skills when it comes to proper use of rudder. A few flights in a glider will really help the tricycle gear pilot gain a valuable appreciation for stick and rudder coordination - not to mention it is just plain (pun intended) fun!!

The transition from Private Pilot airplane to Private Pilot glider can be completed in three or four days for as little as $1,500. If you are ever in South Carolina, stop by and see Frank and Jayne at Bermuda High Soaring.
