On this day, I was able to take a few guests on my Original Glider Rides Familiarization (FAM) trip. A FAM is a complimentary travel experience offered to travel professionals, agents, or event planners.

The 1st time I saw a glider plane was in the Pierce Brosnan 1999 movie - The Thomas Crown Affair. Those scenes piqued my interest in the experience if I ever had the opportunity.

My uncle has mentioned that he used to fly gliders and described how peaceful it felt soaring in the air engine-less. That's right, engine-less! I've been on helicopter tours, but a plane with no engine that required a towplane... wow... I could only imagine that it felt like a bird in flight.
