WSPA Pilots Soar over Nevada

摘要

There is something rarified and pure about soaring. It uniquely blends a love of flight and sweeping views of the earth below with a near cerebral focus on perfecting skills that will produce ever-greater altitudes and distances - buoyed simply by air. The soaring pilot has enlisted in a tireless search for lift, and a persistent honing of the decision-making arts to maximize glide and ensure a safe return to landing. This search for perfection is a solitary quest, yet it rests on a community of like-minded glider pilots who support each other on the ground so each can have his or her turn in the sky.
