The story
Gliders ride invisible rivers of rising air, trading altitude for distance and winning. A good pilot in a good thermal can stay up all afternoon and cross half a country without burning a drop of fuel.
Fun fact
The world glider distance record is over 3,000 km — flown entirely on rising air.
