My Glider Ride

On my 65th birthday, Sylvia told me that the next afternoon I’d be going for a glider ride. I thought it would be interesting -- and it was!

It took over an hour and a half from the time we left the ground until we came back to the Ionia airport. At 10,000 feet I pulled the yellow knob and we were free from the tow plane.  It was a perfect day and the experience was fantastic.  So fantastic that I forgot to take much in the way of photos, but here are some that I did shoot.
