Mile High Glider Ride
Donated by Don Ingraham at Cross Country Soaring
Have you ever wanted to soar through the air like an eagle? Well, now you can!
Thanks to a donation from Cross Country Soaring in Faribault, you can ride with an FAA licensed pilot in a glider (“sailplane”) that will take you up to soar on the thermals, just like the birds.
The package includes:
- 40-minute ride up to 5,000 feet
- Plus a 20-minute ride up to 3,000 feet
- Videos to remember your flights.
Take both flights yourself or share one with a friend or family member.
You will be amazed at how quiet and peaceful it is in the sky with no engine noise or vibration. You might even be able to take the controls and “carve some turns” as you view the earth from thousands of feet up.
Maximum weight 242 lbs. No minimum, but anyone under 110 lbs. will have to sit in the back seat for balance.
Flights take place between June and October.
