Acrocamp Airplanes from Life on the Road as a Pilot
An obvious facet of this Acrocamp is the aerobatic airplanes, which I'll briefly explain in this post. [I'm going to pretend I'm educating you, but really I'm teaching myself.

Ridge Soaring! from AviationBull
video:  Ridge Running from Bo Lorentzen on Vimeo. | When I first heard about flying gliders I thought it sounded boring: no engine, slow-flying airplanes taking very short flights. Luckily, I got the opportunity to try it anyway. I found it to be anything but boring. Even the clunkiest gliders (like my beloved SGS 2-33) don't feel slow when you're in them. The challenge of planning to make it back to the runway and get your landing right the first (and only) time is a thrill. The best part though is finding some type of lifting action that can keep your plane in the air for more than a couple tenths. This video got my heart racing! It shows a truly exciting type of lift-riding called ridge soaring. ...
