Gliding

 I started gliding in 1980 and have flown over 3000 hours, broken many state records and one National record as well as winning OLC Australia a couple of times. I retired in 2022 having flown the Morning Glory on my last flight. Soaring gliders is a sport that can be enjoyed by people of virtually all ages. I have flown form the Gliding Club of Western Australia.

I have been to the Morning Glory a couple of seasons. This movie on YouTube gives some ideas of what flying this cloud is like.

Although I took up gliding to compete, I think flying the Glory was the best experience.

It was my last flight before retiring, what a privilege.
