·I’m lucky enough to to fly gliders and power from a little grass strip in a beautiful part of the U.K.
I love the purity of flight in a glider and a few hours soaring in rising air currents is an unbeatable experience. I’m also a basic gliding instructor, taking people up for trial flights.
Also been lucky enough to fly gliders in South Africa and the French Alps:

··history nerdI'm not an aviator myself, although my stepfather flew B-25s in the Pacific during World War II. However, I hope you all don't mind if I can share some family news that you may appreciate. My wife and I dropped our younger son off at college a couple of weeks ago. He starts flight training in January.

All the best for your son's college and flight training. You must be so proud.

··history nerdThanks for sharing. Did your stepfather talk much about his experiences or have any photos? Understand that many vets may not want to talk because it dredges up painful memories.
All the best for your son's college and flight training. You must be so proud.
Thanks for the good wishes for our son. He's really excited - we didn't get a chance to visit schools due to Covid, but we were hugely impressed with UND when we got there to move him into his dorm. All he's ever wanted to do is fly. I'm sure you know how that feels!

··Burt Macklin, FBII sure did! William from speedmaster101.com was kind enough review it for me and gave it the thumbs up. I turn 50 in two days and have been looking for a good-71 for months. It arrived this morning. Couldn’t be happier with the watch and the seller.
I picked up my ‘85 (which is as close to a birth year as I’ll get) from Ndgal and absolutely love it

·God I miss those pre 911 days when you could visit the cockpit of an airliner.
I was lucky enough to be allowed to visit the cockpit of an old school B747 on a flight from Singapore to Honolulu when I was 11. The crew were so nice and I was mesmerised by all the switches and dials. Needless to say, it really made my day!
Flew with the family by CrabAir, VC10, from Brize Norton to Dulles for a family holiday, when the kids were 12 and 8. For the youngest it was all about Disneyworld

but the eldest has since recounted their trip to the cockpit on numerous occasionally. Unfortunately, though, followed the money with a career in law!
