The other day we were sat on the patio when a plane towing a glider went past, I watched it fly away and missed taking a closer shot. I though it may well turn around and it did though higher this time
About here the glider was going to let go of the line towing it
Then it was off flying away silently on it's own
It disappeared into the clouds
The tow plane too over in that direction
Wow. I've never seen anything like that. Probably too dangerous here, so close to the busy Houston skies.
ReplyDeleteI see them often enough here
DeleteInteresting to see that plane and glider. Beautiful sky photos.
ReplyDeleteYes it is quite normal to to a glider up around the airfield here
DeleteThere's a facility for that near where some of my family live.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very popular pastime
DeleteNice. I can never get photos of those in time.
ReplyDeleteMust admit I did take my time
DeleteGorgeous skies. I wonder if it's a bumpy ride in that glider? It must be an amazing experience!
ReplyDeleteI know flying in a tiger moth by-plane is bumpy so I would think that is worse
DeleteGreetings and Salutations! Wow! I don't recall ever seeing a plane tow a glider before. Looks like some turbulent skies. Thanks a heap for posting this awesome sight.
ReplyDeleteAmazing to see the glider.
ReplyDeleteIt seems when I was a kid we would see a lot more gliders in the sky. Not so much now. Of course I live in the city underneath a glide path for our airport so that is not a place where gliders would be hanging out.
