In this Episode of The Thermal, we hear from a Dutch pilot who placed second at the recent world championships in France. It was a very tough fought contest with challenging flying conditions.

We also hear from a novice pilot who narrowly escaped a final glide that went wrong…leaving field selection to the last possible moment.

And the British Air Training Corps is 80 years old. Many, many British glider pilots got their start with this organization. We look back at its history.

That's all on Episode #27 of The Thermal.
