without pedals if you have no propulsion on your bicycle the only way you can
keep it moving and stop falling off is by finding a gently downward slope.
It’s exactly the same parallel with gliding. Gliders are always
descending through the air in which they’re flying. The trick and

the minimum you need to descend to stay airborne.” Cut L/S Glider ascends Mix to W/S timelapse clouds Cut Archive: W/S Glider 1032 1035 1043 That is gliding’s irresistible allure...the

impressive photograph, that cloud was three miles high, the base was 9000ft,
well it was like skiing cos great big tons of cloud came out. It was like you
could fly along them and it was exciting beyond belief - so the concentration
was on the excitement was on, well the aircraft kept on climbing but a
problem began to develop and that was the controls started to freeze and the
controls got heavier and heavier and heavier and I thought well I won’t
worry about that. I’ll try and get the thing steady so I don’t
have to turn - so we did this and came over the top of it and got to a bit
over 36,000ft. I knew that if the barograph worked, I’d got a world
record. At that time I noticed puffs of white powder in the
cockpit - I couldn’t make out what that was and found it was my breath
turning straight to ice crystals. So I thought my god the brakes, I pulled
on them - they were frozen and that really upset me. I started to
hyperventilate, I had pressure breathing on and that really upset me I turned
that off and then I got myself under control and I started hauling on the
brakes kept the pressure there and then suddenly bang - they flew open and
they froze open but that didn’t matter cos now we were on the thing was
starting to go down. I could call the control tower on the radio - little
valve set worked, dry cell batteries still going so I got hold of the
controller and told him where I was and what had happened and he said well
congratulations I hope you have a world record. And he said if you look down
now you might see DC6 coming in from Australia and I looked down there
and there 20,000ft below me was a tiny little airplane. He was flying at

alone in the nature, you have to fly with the nature what the nature is
giving you and you thank God he gave us such nature and that we can use it
for our sport.” “Its a passion whether you’re a
competition racer or non competitive pilot - you just enjoy pitting yourself
against nature, reading the weather - Glider pilots are some of the best
weathermen in the world without doubt.” It’s the challenge that you face as a pilot.
I’m in the American airforce and I fly F16’s and F16’s as
long as you have fuel in the tank and the motors running you put the throttle
then it’s going to perform in a certain manner whereas in soaring
it’s a challenge to figure out what the weathers doing and to optimise
the performance of the airplane and if you do well you know it’s
because you have overcome or you have used the elements of nature to optimise
you flight and if you’ve made a better flight than someone else it’s
because you have better skill. I think that most glider pilots are pretty
competent - you have to be to go up against the train around the
world.” “I think we’re privileged to be able to
do this, to really fly with the birds and fly long distances and just use our
nous and mother nature to fly. It’s a privilege and it’s a
thrill.” Cut Pan glider across valley R-L 2557 Mix to L/S glider 2604 2607 And whether flying one of the two metre classes running for home by albatross or the huge albatross

happens to be at that place you’ll end up in the wave climbing. The
wave is very smooth. It’s silky smooth sometimes - you can be flying
flat out and there’s no movement whatsoever it’s just totally
smooth air but below the laminar area, we call it - it can be very turbulent
if the rotors and turbulence and all the rest of it so you sometimes have to
use that rough air in order to climb up and sometimes it means pushing in
towards the back of a hill and using the turbulent thermals that are coming
up to thermal up a little bit then lose it go forward a little thermal up and
you just step up step up and step up until suddenly it goes totally smooth
