"Glide" Exhibit at National Soaring Museum

The exhibit will be on view at the National Soaring Museum, 
Harris Hill, Elmira, 
from January 28 - February 18.  

An opening reception will be held this Saturday, January 28, from 2 - 4pm (snow date February 4).  The reception is free and open to the public.  

I used to glide on Sedburgh T23's (open cockpit) when I was growing up in India.  I can still close my eyes and hear the sounds of the wind, feel the breeze on my face and hair while I soared among birds, with mountains below and the sun setting.   I felt free and one with nature.  No boundaries, no restrictions.  Below is my interpretation of how I felt.
