Glider Flight 2400ft - Wellington Gliding Club - Watch in High Quality !

This is a video I filmed and produced for the Wellington Gliding Club.

The Wellington Gliding Club is fortunate to be based at the Paraparaumu airfield on the Kapiti coast 35km north of Wellington. The Paraparaumu location affords tremendous soaring possibilities for glider pilots. The club also operates in the Wairarapa from Hood Aerodrome in Masterton, though training is normally conducted at Paraparaumu.

The soaring season kicks off very early in August thanks to the prevailing westerlies, creating smooth reliable ridge lift along a 250km long range of hills. An upwind island creates a very tame "pet" wave offering easy climbs to 12000 feet or more.

More information about how and when flights can be conducted can be found at their website.
