My girlfriend's grandfather has got a glider and I have been trying to set up a ride for my dad's birthday coming up soon, any words of advice for him and myself for our first ride??

The season is sadly drawing to a close, but not before I got to mess around with a gopro mount I made that attached to the Blanik's tie-down eye bolts.
This year was a rather crappy soaring season in Ohio. We have a new Base out of Ortner airport, closer to lake Erie (not really a good thing, but the old airport was sold).
Here's a quick sled ride (no soaring flight) from the new place. One benefit is the paved runway so we no longer have to wait for dry ground to start the season.
I just recently got my Glider Pilot's Licence this summer with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. I did all my training on the Schweizer SGS 2-33A and can't wait for the winter to end so get back into it.
