Help! How do you let others know what’s going on when you’re 8000 feet up in the air in a plane without an engine?!

First of all: Keep calm and carry on! Chances are that you are on board a glider, which is flying perfectly well without an engine. In this talk you’ll learn how glider pilots can travel hundreds of miles with just the power of the sun, and how you can watch them do their thing with your feet on the ground. We’ll discuss how modern technology makes this sport spectator-friendly, and how all of this can be achieved with very low cost.
