NESA Vice President Dr. Gerald Smith has a very successful dental practice in Concord but his real passion is flying. Smith is a certified soaring instructor and tirelessly promotes the Club's mission to grow and attract new people to the sport of soaring. Smith, who has been flying planes for more than 40 years, got into soaring at the ripe age of 14 when he joined the Kearsarge Soaring Association in New London, New Hampshire. He has been with the NESA since 2002 and is currently chief soaring instructor. Last year Smith and fellow soaring pilot Walter Striedieck made aviation history on the Alton Bay ice runway. Alton Bay is the only sanctioned ice runway in the lower 48 states, and the duo became the first to accomplish glider take off and landings off the runway. Most club activity takes place on weekends; however, the club does occasionally operate during the week. If you are interested in experiencing soaring, introductory flights are available most weekends from mid-April to early November. The typical introductory flight cost is between $50 and $75. For more information, you can visit the club's website here.
I suspect that title was written by someone unfamiliar with the meaning of the phrase??
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing. Having sex in a glider can be a bit difficult.
