Freedom's Wings in an opportunity for people with disabilities to experience the exitement of unpowered flight.

Adirondack Soaring is hosting it again this weekend, it's an annual event. It's not car related so wouldn't go in the "Events" column, besides, OT gets more play.

FW supplies one glider with hand controls for the rudder, we supply a regular glider, the instructors, ground crew, tow pilots etc. and then have a member sponsored BBQ afterward. I am making the Napa Cabbage Salad seen elsewhere, burning dogs and burgers; Trish is making Apple Cake Brownies and homemade ice cream.

Weather predictions are for light winds, sun but a bit chilly.

I'll try to get some photos.
