i live in germany, i´m 16 years old, got the licence to fly gliders and have my own ls4 : )

Nice to see from inside the glider. My Brother in Law is now stationed there and he had me and my son come out to the runway to watch him take another out for a check ride this past week. He is an IP and was flying B-1s before that. Great to see and even better to see from the glider.

@eroby371 CAP (NJ wing at least) gets some of its gliders from the USAFA
-
Nice vid.
Is the Usafa using glassfiber planes like the ASK 21 or Duo Discus for long fligth in the Rocky's? Because this Blanik is pretty good equipped. :)

WHAT IS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITION OF THE CADETS WHEN THEY FLY?
-
@bamrocks74 score a 650 minimum on all 3 portions of your SAT, have AP classes and pass with an A. Have a sport like that is a must, you need to be physically fit otherwise you will suffer here. best bet is to train for these requirements, about 60 pushups in 2m, 10 pull ups, 80 sit ups, long jump forward 7', and be able to run a lap around the track in under 55 seconds. also you have to do that in a row in this order: pull ups, standing long jump, sit ups, push ups, and then the lap.

If anyone younger than 18 saw this video and wants an easy chance to get to do this, join the Civil Air Patrol. I got to fly in two gliders and I'm only 13. Aside from flying, CAP is a lot of fun.
The only thing that was different from this flight and mine was that I was towed by a PA-25 instead of a piper cub, and I flew the Schweitzer 2-33 'Falcon'

You are right for the most part. They want to see high school students who are involved in several activities. This shows they can handle having their time spread thin over the course of four years. However, grades are still very important.
