I took my buddy on a 3 hour glider flight out of Minden-Tahoe as an introduction to soaring. This has mercifully been edited down to 10 minutes for your entertainment. Both the pilot and passenger are experienced hang glider pilots. One important lesson was learned on this flight... Circling 3 hours while looking through a video camera viewfinder is not a good way for a passenger to keep lunch where it belongs. Zip lock bags came in handy. On this flight, we reached over 15k MSL.
