Glider Airstrip

It is said that it is the activity base of gliders in the Kanto area of ​​the Japan Student Aviation Federation.

It can be seen gliding from the cyclin road along the Tone River embankment. Two types of glide can be seen: pulling it with a small Cessna and separating it in the air, and pulling it vigorously with a winch on the ground and floating it. It looks very elegant, but I have heard that it had been a crash before, so it's a bit dangerous.

The sight of unpowered gliders soaring into the sky one after another with no sound makes us wonder why we have an extraordinary feeling. Pulled by a cable extending from a distant winch, it quickly went up to the sky, and separated the cable → dropped and wound the cable on the track and then pulled it to the glider to take off. It's interesting to see how it repeats.

Because it is a place where there is a dream, other people fly in the air, but the illusion that myself is flying.
