NJ "Glider Rides"



TRIPTOIDS

Trip description

The glider rides start with a brief orientation to the glider followed by you getting into the aircraft with one of their FAA certified pilots. The sailplane is then hooked to the tow rope attached to our tow plane and in no time you are rolling down the runway and become airborne.

The tow plane will climb with the glider behind it until high above the earth. Your glider pilot will release from the tow plane and begin the free flight portion of your glider ride. If you want you may take the controls and see what it is like to fly a glider. Flight times depend on weather conditions. In most cases a ride lasts 20-25 minutes. You will get a birds eye view of New Jersey's Kittatinny Mountain Ridge and on a clear day you may be able to see New York City, NY and Philadelphia, PA.

Full footage of a glider ride from Blairstown NJ. The film is sped up only until we are in the cockpit, the rest is the actual speed of glider. I also didn't have the correct settings on my camera so work with it.
