The purpose of this channel is not for profit or to seek subscribers. It's just my journey as a powered pilot who discovered soaring and towing in gliders after 23 years flying USAF F-16s & F-111s and yrs of flying 727, 737, 757, and 767 Boeing aircraft. Soaring was the most fun I've ever had in an aircraft...really refined my skills and knowledge of flight through experiential learning. I did a lot of soaring on my layovers in Chile, the UK, Calif, and Az. I got my commercial glider add-on in 2013 and my CFI-G in 2014 at Chilhowee Glider port in Etowah, TN w/ Team USA gold medalist, Sarah Arnold. I had aerobatic instruction from Jason Stephens (6 x US Nat'l Champion; Arizona Soaring nr Phoenix) and Garret Willat (US Nat'l Champion x 3; Sky Sailing. Warner Springs, Calif). In 2014, my B-4 glider was grounded for corrosion in the wings. My wings were clipped. In 2024, trying to get back in the air. Hamilton is my middle name. I love soaring with hawks.
