Managed to miss them so far.

Strangely enough...yes it does.
Though the brain has to be rewired to fathom and perform the tasks required...totally unrelatable to anything I've done before.

You have to time it just right and do what's called a flare..which is basically making the glider perform like an air brake....picture a bird just before it lands.

Epic. Truly epic. Remind me, you in QLD or other state?

Jesus that's a helluva trip.

So now you have training, you gonna buy gear and start going yourself locally?

What's a rig like that cost?

Plane flight wasnt too bad.
My sis lives right near the dude and slopes for training so been able to keep costs as low as poss.

Yep I'll be getting rig for sure...bout 3500 aus will have me in the air.
Easily my biggest splurge ever.

Itll be my hobby and focus for years to come with experiences that I dont think a price can be put on.

Lifes short and my midlife crisis is now.
