Take off
Getting higher...
A view of the tow plane towing us up.
Once high enough we release the tow rope from the front of the glider, and we're on our own.
The spectacular view of the Waikato.
We're surrounded by lush green farmland most of the year.
Overhead the small town of Waharoa as we head back to the airfield.
Approaching the runway with a view of the Kaimai Range in the distance.
About to pass over State Highway 1 on our final approach.
A nice gentle landing to finish off the flight.
