I've always wanted to have a ride in a glider but I get both vertigo and claustrophobia so I've always been put off by the possibility of the onset of a panic attack at 3,000 feet. -

Wouldn't suggest drinking beforehand - most light aircraft/gliders carry vom bags - normally part of the cockpit preparation checklist when you carry passengers. Take some of those anti-vom pills beforehand if you want to.
Not been gliding, not really my scene. Well, unless you count engine failure sims. Nothing more spooky seeing an engine on the right making a lot of noise and the one on the left completely quiet and stationary. Better than Senokot.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

Originally posted by zeitghostI'll wager that seeing both of them stationary at the same time is probably even more exciting.
Especially if you're up in the air at the time.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment
