Flying High....Literally!

One sunny Saturday afternoon I decided to take a friend of mine, Shane, up gliding for the afternoon. He agreed so off we went.

We arrived at the pavement stip (which was the local 'airport') We hopped in the glider the tow plane took us up to about 3500 ft. Were just flyin around then Shane pulls out a joint and said in a semi-persuisive tone, "Want some?" I said "No" cause I was flying. But eventually the smoke filled up the cabin and we were both blazin at 3000ft...in a glider! :eek: I realized that there was NO WAY I could possibly land this wreck stoned, so I tried to stay aloft as long as I could, with Shane trippin balls in the back seat. After about three hours of wondering where I was and riding thermals, the we had to land.

Now I'm on the final strech of the landing when I realize that I'm comin in above the recommended flight path, and that I was gonna land about 100 ft AFTER the runway! So I jam the control stick forward and then pulled up just as sharply, losing about 200 ft in a couple seconds. Meanwhile, Shanes screamin his ass off with stuff like "are you tryna kill us?" and "are you crazy?" ect.

The landing was rough but the glider sustained no visible damage. As me and Shane stumbled out of the cockpit we realized that now I landed too early and we had to wheel the god damn thing a good 250 ft. And when we got the plane back to the correct patch of grass, Shane busted out another joint. So we jumped in my car, sparked the joint, and began the journey home. But that......is another story all in itself.

Crazy dude, fucking crazy crazy crazy ha ha ha.

I'm fucking drunked as shit.

Nice story, sounds like it would be really scary but really euphoric.

sounda fuckin awesome

Sweet man...I'm getting my glider pilots liscence this summer.

Holy fuck, you gotta tell the story about how you came back!
This is really not something you hear everyday.
It's always about how we got high at some friends house.. but miles and miles in the sky?
You were literally 'high up in da sky'!!
Yeah you really gotta finish the story, homes.

are u in air cadets?? cause I am LoL and they are MAD opium!

Oh and I did finish the story, just the drive back was just the standard "driving while high" story, then becoming the worlds best driver when u see a cop, ect. I though it would dull the ending to much so I ended the way I did.

aw come on now....a real pilot woulda slipped the plane (opposite rudder and aileron) and scrubbed off enough speed and lift to land in an overshoot situation. ever hear of spoilers??? setting up your spoilers, flaps and ailerons into a CROW setting to "dirty" up the aerodynamics? efficient gliders would pick up too much speed in a nose down dive to allow for a controlled landing that would be 250' short of the target.

Fucking right I am!

Nothing like getting a glider license for free! And if it all goes well, I'll be getting my power through them too.
