are you a pilot Elsa ?

moving powered by the wind is a pleasure on a sail boat, no engine noise, I think the experience on a glider should be similar at least, if not better

Armando no, I dont have a pilot's license. I went with an Instructor (he sat at the back) The glider is not as quiet as I thought - but then I have no reference. it is lovely up there though and you do go quite fast (once again from my own reference only - and I dont know otherwise)
