Our next stop was at Tehachapi’s Mountain Valley Airport. Our plans were to watch sailplanes as they were being towed into the air by a larger plane, then set loose to glide.
Robin’s father used to pilot his own personal aircraft, so Robin was right at home. If we would have bought her a ticket, she would have been on her way.
Here are two sailplanes waiting on the runway for their aero-tow.
The smaller plane in the background is being towed into the air.
A nice man took our pictures. I think he was the owner of the flight school and wanted us to come back and go for some sailplane rides.
I have no doubt that Robin will.
I bet it would be fun to ride in a sailplane... as long as there were no mishaps. O.O
