Default Air minded


I was fascinated with birds and planes from as early as I can
remember. Built models and helped my older brothers with free flight
gliders. In 1967, at the age of 14, the article in National
Geographic absolutely hooked me on gliders. I could not believe that
you could fly for hours, and to such incredible heights, without a
motor! I must have read that article a hundred times. It took me 10
years to figure out how to get started tho. I have been soaring ever
since...
