How did you get started in gliding? I wanted to be an airline pilot, and heard gliding was an affordable route to get into it.

What’s your training routine like? We are blessed with moderate soaring conditions late into autumn in Kingaroy, so I’ve been practicing flying as heavy as a dare in the dying season.
