Barry.h Posted October 17, 2023 Report Posted October 17, 2023 The bucket list item for Motorglider pilots in Australia is to fly the Morning Glory. I have recently returned from my first Morning Glory trip in my Phoenix and was lucky enough to get 3 clouds on 3 consecutive days. An amazing experience. The local news weatherman gave a very good overview of what the Glory is about: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1020640395753694 We were based in Burketown along with 2 Stemme, a few Pipistrel, some Dimonas and few Grob. I have started a Youtube channel with some of my exploits - starting with a flight through the eye of a solar eclispe in April - www.youtube.com/@flightsofthephoenix The video of the first wave cloud is here - if you subscribe you will get the updates to follow of our other 2 flights. While I have ticked the item off - I certainly have the bug and will be back for more. Barry Phoenix #21 in Australia Quote
