I mentioned that I had my second glider flight on Sunday. I took my DSLR camera with me this time, and when my flight instructor had control of the glider I took pictures. Here are four of them.

It was another great day for gliding/soaring. Too bad I couldn't stay long due to Freyja's vet appointment.

Looking out from the cockpit of a glider to see the towplane towing the glader

A view of southwest Pennsylvania as seen from a glider about 2500 feet above the ground. Below the horizon are fields and trees, above blue sky with clouds in the distance.

The instruments inside glider N2724H. From left to right: altimiter, airspeed indicator (in MPH), compass, and variometer. The brown knob below the compass is the towline release lever.

Bendel Airport as seen on the baseleg approach. It's a flattened grass field with a gravel center extending about 3000 feet into the distance. In front of and below the grass/gravel strip is a road. Two red buildings are to the right.
