Sometimes, when people ask me what I sport I practice, I want to told them:
"I fly gliders."
And then, they would look at me with an odd look and they would told me:
"But, to fly gliders, it's not a sport!"
And there I'd reply to them:
"I see that you had never flew a DG-505 by a windy weather, the towing is the most harder because you have to stay in a rectangle of 4m of height and 2m of width, when shocked in all the sides, it's not easy. And after, you've got a load factor of +2.5g or +3g because you have to make a sharp turn during 10m for climb until the ceiling. So, no, gliding it's not just a mentally sport, it's also rather physical."

So, today I did a new flight on this glider, same if the weather still windy, I did a good work there, excepted for the bends that I'm used to tighten too much. An other problem that I had was at my landing, there were a falcon in the middle of the runway, just in the axis of my fuselage, he took off only when our glider was at a dozen of meters from him I just looked at it for be sure that it still alive, it passed very near of the left wing of our glider, that's in the order of less than 5cm, and as I was looking the falcon, I wasn't ready when a gust made rise the left wing and made touch the ground to the right wing, our glider made a sideslip on the grass that we took back in hand. When we left the frequency, the controller who saw the action congratulated us the the sideslip that he thought that it was voluntary, this controller is a good guy, maybe the best of all the tower control, same if he's a volunteer, he's the only controller who takes care of the gliders and who knows to listen and take care the guy at the other side of the radio (we already saw a controller ask to a glider: "Glider Victor Papa, can you put the full throttle back? We've got a Ryanair in the landing phase." I swear, it's a true story!)
