The Thermal - Episode #62

In Episode #62 of The Thermal, the global tariff chaos and the impact on American glider pilots. We talk to the man behind gliding supply shop Cumulus Soaring to find out what is and isn’t happening.

Looping a glider is fun when done properly. It’s something that most of us have done at some point or another. But breaking the Guinness Book record for the number of loops is a completely different matter. We speak to the two Australian pilots who now hold the world record.

And what’s it like when there’s far more of your gliding career behind you than in front of you. It’s something that all of us will face at some point. We talk to an octogenarian glider pilot who is processing and contemplating his ability to continue to do what he loves.

That’s all on Episode #62 of The Thermal.
