Where is the engine bro?

Some kind of photoshop, 'cause where is the damn engine.

Have flown a lot of Diamond Star planes, and that is as close to soaring I have been. When flying and I hear nothing but the wind, I tend to pucker up a bit. Great pic and how long you been flying?

Since you like to fly....how 'bout a GMT?

Soarhead2 · 22 April 2009, 05:58 AM

Haha,,,,,,,Who wants a thirsty noisy engine.....better to do without!

Soarhead2 · 22 April 2009, 06:01 AM

Flying without an engine since 1984!

Power plane tows me up to 2000ft then I soar using air currents thermals etc. Have flown for nearly 7 hours and climbed to 14,000 ft.

Im considering the GMT Ceramic but its a bit expensive.

thks

Why am I not surprised with your answer.

Kind of like my sail boat buddies who poke fun at me when I tell them, if it ain't loud, it ain't fast.

Never flown in a glider, but I hear the lack of noise is wonderful. I am a CFI in the states and just have not been around gliders. Now, don't try to get me hooked. I assume you own your bird?

Yes, I own the example in the pic. You should try it. The link below gives locations in US where you can have a go!

Laugh all you want to this question/statement. Don't know if I could get used to a plane without the option of a go around.
