Today a friend took my father for a his first glider flight. 3,000 foot tow then a bit of lift between layers for 35 minute flight.
Bernie came down 40 years younger. Bernie (90) was 5 X the pilots age.

Great day!

Sounds Great!!!

I like that.. an 18yr old taking someone five times his age for a glider ride.

Where is the glider club?
 
I love it!:thumbsup: The only thing I can recommend to top that would be for you to get a glider rating and take him soaring with you while you can.

That guy is 90? WOW! I'll have what he's having! What an awesome experience!
 
Catching up on threads, and I'd missed this one...

VERY VERY COOL! And I agree with Andy--your dad doesn't look like he's 90!
