Deb's Thrilling Aero Gliding Adventure at 50: An Easter Experience

Celebrate a milestone at 50 with a unique Easter adventure – aero gliding! Despite the challenging weather on April 8, 2007, I ventured out to the Cunderdin Gliding Club for a memorable flight that exceeded my expectations. After months of anticipation, I finally took to the skies and even had the chance to take control of the glider. It was exhilarating, despite needing to return early due to weather conditions. I can't wait to go again and experience it on a sunny day! Check out my photos from this unforgettable day!

  2. On turning the ripe old age of 50(!!) I thought I’d do something out of the ordinary - Aero Gliding. The family bought me a flight for my birthday and it took me 9 months to get around to arrange the occasion. Easter weekend seemed like a good idea. Despite lousy weather they still arranged a flight for me. I wasn’t disappointed! It was everything I’d imagined. The instructor even allowed me to take the controls and that was a bonus. I’m not sure how long I was up there but it was amazing! Because of the lousy weather we didn’t get to find any “hot spots” to keep our height and we had to head in before the “front” came in – as you’ll see, we only just made it. I’ll certainly go again – but next time I’ll pick a nice sunny day to do it next time. Anyone interested in taking a joy flight? I’d certainly recommend it! I hope you enjoy the photos. Deb
