I was lucky enough to get a chance to do a feature on sailplanes once.  One
of our anchors at WWL-TV got his license, so we did a feature for one of
our shows.

One thing I remember most was the sound, because there was no engine
noise.

You could hear the linkages of the controls working, the different sounds
as you banked, the air rushing past the canopy.

Someone who had highly tuned hearing could almost fly it blindfolded.

He would, of course need to know his altitude. ;-)
