I've done about 10 sailplane lessons now and, while I'd like to say I'm picking it up quickly, that would be quite an exaggeration. There's lots to learn and, in particular, a lot of instincts to acquire. But I'm doing more and more in each flight and Claude (my instructor) is doing more instructing and less flying. And most lessons are pretty good XC flights in the their own right. I realized that I've got a really good opportunity to take photos when flying with Claude, so I took a few today. We had a nice 2 hour flight to St Andre and back, taking a route over the Plateau de Valensole. It's certainly impressive how quickly you can cover distance in a sailplane... A few pics.
