Hello everyone, I have joined a glider club and I will soon make my first flight but before that I came to help them to reassemble the gliders before the beginning of the season. So I come to show you the picture of one of the gliders that I helped to reassemble (it is an ASK13).1yr ⋅ Interesting-Seat-890 ⋅ r/Gliding

First flight in this season. I love my club Junior. Nearby pig farm generated 3m/s of uplift, however I got sick of that smell and had to land xD.3yr ⋅ SZD-51-Junior ⋅ r/Gliding

SGS 1-26, 1-34, 1-36, .. we got them all 🙃 Share your fun flights and earn some fun badges. Happy day everyone!1mo ⋅ WeGlide ⋅ r/Gliding

How we are forced to fly in Belgium, even single seat private gliders (picture of me last weekend). We can't cross the borders or go crosscountry without an engine as a NOTAM forbids outlanding. Airspace in Belgium is small, let's hope we can do some proper flying soon!4yr ⋅ deSenna24 ⋅ r/Gliding
