Absolutely amazing experience!!! I was nervous about soaring and wasn't sure I could get past my nerves, but thankfully I did! We got there early on a Sunday morning about a half hour before they opened as we had read it was first come first serve. We ended up being the first in line, but people quickly arrived behind us. The people running the office, selling the tickets and keeping everything organized, however young were outstanding. We were so impressed with everyone we met there. They were able to get more pilots in quickly because so many people had showed up. The pilots volunteer their time. My pilot was a retired United Airlines pilot who was wonderful. He explained everything that was happening, pointed out sights and kept making sure I was okay. We had a gorgeous day and you could see for miles and miles. We were up in the air about 20 minutes, it was exhilarating at relaxing at the same time. Since there is no motor it really is peaceful, soaring around, in and out of clouds - I didn't want it to end. It was an absolutely once in a life time experience! We were headed to the Finger Lakes via Corning and when I saw you could take glider rides at Harris Hill...well, how could we pass that up!
