If flying were the language of man, soaring would be its poetry

My favorite past-time (or obsession :-) ) is flying aircraft without engines - called gliders or sailplanes. On a good day, a sailplane can stay aloft for many hours and cover distances of hundreds of miles. I'm a member of the Greater Boston Soaring Club where I am an FAA Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and also own and fly my own sailplane.

If you would like to learn more about soaring, an excellent introduction can be found at The York (Ontario, Canada) Soaring Association. See also the Soaring Society of America and my recommended reading list.
