Thanks for the help. It means a lot.

Surely, man's age-old dream of flying has found its purest and most beautiful expression in soaring.

Nature opens up to the soaring pilot a world that would have been thought unreachable only a few years ago - a world of mighty forces, gentle or wild, majestic and mysterious.

The pilot enters this realm, flies in it, makes use of its dynamics, and tries to explore and fathom its mysteries.

The burden of everyday life is left on the ground and becomes inconsequential compared to the freedom that the wings of a sailplane can provide.
