Londonderry Gliding is a popular sport in Ireland. The first man to Glide from the Aran Islands to the mainland was faster than than the local commuter plane, imagine that!
Gliding is a recreational activity and competitive air sport in which pilots fly unpowered aircraft known as gliders or sailplanes using naturally occurring currents of rising air in the atmosphere to remain airborne. The word soaring is also used for the sport.
When soaring conditions are good enough, experienced pilots can fly hundreds of kilometres before returning to their home airfields. If the weather deteriorates, they may need to land elsewhere, but motorgliders pilots can avoid this by starting an engine.
