Gliding

Today my dad took me up in the glider. We climbed to 4000 feet and sailed over the race track, the performing arts center and my house. We could see my outdoor table in the backyard.

About four other gliders were up with us and with only one good thermal updraft to be found all were circling the same spot like buzzards over a fresh kill.

It was very hot in the cockpit. I wasn't prepared for that. My only other trip in a glider must have been cooler weather. It felt like a sauna. We stayed up over an hour and a half and I began to fear heat stroke.

Very smooth landing.
