Happy memories of my old Bkanik and youthful energy, the joy of thermalling and demonstrating a loop to a friend. My heroes now are the staff of the rheumatology department at the local hospital and their medicines, which keep me reasonably mobile and reasonably pain-free. Enjoy it while you can, my friend, and all best wishes to you.
Good job in the pattern, showing good speed control. Well done. I used to fly and instruct in this glider when it was owned by the Greater Boston Soaring Club. Probably did 60+ winch launches in it.
Memories of the original L13 Blanik at Nympsfield UK 1968 to 1977. Still flying and gliding 57 years on from 1st flight in 1967. Happy days! John. FAI/BGA 51417 (old timer).

I was a member at GBSC this summer/ fall. It was nice having 2 New England options.

My first glider flights were in 1978 over Salem, NH. I restarted in 2022. Just took my checkride in Florida at Seminole Lake Soaring 😀
Gratlation!

Nice solo flight! Where is this? I couldn't quite make out the radio call.
Franconia, NH
@@scottharlow3560 Beautiful area, lots of trees. Maybe not so many land out options lol.
