“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
Leonardo da Vinci
Reminds me of the first time I flew a glider solo at Waikerie.
Thanks very much Geoff. As a child we lived semi rurally. There was an eagle with a bilateral eye infection that somehow became grounded and came under our care. We washed out its eyes as best we could without being ripped apart and then it caught a breeze and off into the skies again it went. Amazing

I shared a thermal with a Wedge-tailed Eagle
