What a fantastic post!
I can relate after my longest flight so far - 17 minutes. Now I long to soar for hours.
Mondays are difficult at office, hard to get much work done.

That was awesome Stoubie! Trying to explain this to those who do not fly is almost impossible.

Being able to fly Hang gliders is truly a gift! We all are very very lucky to be alive at this present time in history! Great post!

To be able to articulate the gift of flight is truly a talent. Thanks for the story, while I sit at my desk, dreaming about flying
