Great video!! I remember gliding well, being a member of the Air Training Corps (Jersey) No.7 Overseas Squadron back when I was around 14 years old. It so happens a C-130 Hercules was in Jersey and it flew us to RAF Lynham in the UK and we got a minibus to transport us to a gliding centre (can't remember the location). What I do remember, is an awesome weekend of gliding! Winch take off, 0-60mph in 2 seconds and climbing to 2, 000ft at around at 45 degree angle :) Then the winch disconnects and you feel that 'sinking' feeling for a few seconds until absolute bliss and silence soaring the skies :) Great times!! Your video has brought back a lot of memories for me, so thank you :)
