I certainly agree with Frank on the value of Condor. It may not teach you to fly but it will help you practice the maneuvers that we teach. Plus I will never fly in the French Alps for real but this is a great alternative.
Steve
Thanks, Frank. It was quite challenging and rewarding. 5 ½ hours and an altitude gain of 16,200 ft.
Also, Frank earned his Silver badge last week.
