Mr Underhill took his glider up for about 20 minutes, finding currents of air to keep him aloft before a successful landing at Kybong Airport, near Gympie. I haven t been involved with the aviation at all for about 12 years, so it was a little bit like coming home, he said. It was very nice, a great feeling. For Christmas, my wife gave me an experience flight and gliding up at Gympie, so we went up there and it just reignited my interest. The 73-year-old said it was a unique feeling being in a glider. Gliders are special because of the silence and the efficiency of them, he said.
