Still rubbing it in my friends faces. This was the day before school started so I have plenty of "what did you do this summer?" stories.  :airplane: :airplane:

That's awesome man, gliders are too cool. And if you keep going with your ratings youll be light years ahead of people stick and rudder wise. I'd love to look up where that school is in Florida and do some more flying myself, one glider flight isn't enough!
