Was driving by one day with some of my employees for a window cleaning company I worked for last summer. Decided to stop and check it out and one of the tow plane pilots let us get nice and close to his airplane. Really appreciated it and found it to be pretty cool.

This is a friendly club of gliding enthusiasts operating beside the Rideau River between Manotick and Kemptville.The grass-strip airfield is situated approximately 30 minutes drive from downtown Ottawa or 25 minutes from Kanata.Soaring -or gliding- is a wonderful experience that makes use of natural energy in the atmosphere to keep a sailplane aloft. In the right conditions a sailplane will remain airborne most of the day and can be flown hundreds of kilometers.

Fascinating....On a sunny afternoon , we were returning from Baxter conservation area , when a glider passed some 30 feet above our head and landed in the field next to the road. Curiosity caught a better of us and we went to the soaring club to investigate. It was fun watching the tow plane towing the gliders and taking off and landing. It seems they take passengers for a ride also ...Ah not now ... Covid
