Wooooo! Great story. Hard to forget any of that. I don't know about
you, but that kind of experience makes my seat pan tingle

The F-111s probably thought you were a particularly ugly buzzard.

there's nothing like the
feeling you get when flying a sailplane XC

You can say that again. The feeling parallels what one might feel
swimming under water through a tunnel; you hope your breath holds out
until you reach the far opening.


Ha! That's good!

Actually you get past that after awhile. 3000'+ is like breathing air

I've got a little sailplane XC story for ya....
