Hi Scott and you other guys! My name is Bonnie and I am freinds with Sheryl out in Boston. She told me all about how Will took them on an amazing adventure! My husband Frank and I are both seriously considering coming out this summer to vacation and see you folks! It's been a busy year with our home schooling and academic projects so this should be a good time for us both to let off some steam! :) Looking forward to giving you a call soon!

I really want to do this when I fly in this year in March! I really like the content of your website and knowledge you have and will be pointing a link from my top websites page on http://www.drugtest.org back to your website. Please look forward to hearing from me soon! Jameson

Hey guys, thanks for ending my vacation with the most peaceful ride. Will was a great pilot!! I'll be seeing you again, next time I'm on Oahu! Best from Boston, Sheryl

You guys were the reason for me to spend 9 days of vacation on Oahu...and it turned out as a great experience. Many thanks to those of your staff who I met, esp. Carrie, Tyler, Kim, Paul and my very special thanks to Dwight, who spent about 5 hrs of air time with me mostly in 9S. ("What was that???" ...a question by Dwight I still giggle about). It was fun meeting you all, my regards to all the folks of "Original" and you colleagues from "the other side of the house". Holm- und Rippenbruch, Leute! If you should come to upstate NY come by at Harris Hill, Elmira. All the best und vielen, vielen Dank Uwe

This is definitely one of the coolest activities in Hawaii ... not something you will find boring at all! <a href="http://forum.alohatoday.com/index.php?showtopic=14">Had to mention it on my site too ...</a>

I want to thank Scott for a wonderful experience yesterday. Flying the 2-32 was a real treat and the highlight of my vacation! I'm still buzzed about how much fun it was. Thanks again!! Charlie Radford

This has to be one of the best experiences of my life! I was in Hawaii for my brother's wedding, and during my research, I found you guys and thought it would be fun. I ended up choosing the Aerobatic tour, and don't regret it! Paul, my pilot, was incredible, and made me feel very relaxed, and explained what would be happening. I would suggest this experience to anyone who visits the area!

Bill Mielcke: Age 40: Mahalo to the Glider Ride Hawaii crew for an awesome experience! I will be back for the Aerobatic tour. Aloha
Thank you Bill from The Original glider Rides

Bernie Age 44: For Father's Day I suprised both my father and my husband with a glider ride. Each Dad rode with a daughter. Ella (age 9) rode with her dad, Mike. I rode with my dad, Ted. Both Dad&Daughter pairs had a GREAT RIDE and a GREAT TIME. Each pilot got us comfortably settled into our gliders. It was easy for Ella to see because cushions were placed under her to raise her to an adult height. My pilot was very considerate and patient with my dad, telling him step by step how to get into and out of the glider--he did it easily. The views of the North Shore were spectacular. Even if you live here, you've never seen Oahu quite like this! We could even see all the way to Honolulu and Diamond Head. Impressive!

Ted age 73: That was fun! It was fantastic! It was so smooth. The pilot was the greatest. I really enjoyed it. (I'll be taking the picture-in-picture video to my family reunion in Texas to show off what I saw.)

Mike age 45: Awesome ride!

Ella age 9: It was really fun. Never done something like that in my life. I liked how you could see a lot of stuff from all the way up there.

I'm very exited about getting to ride in a glider in Hawaii! Our dad has flown and towed banners for years but this will be only our second time in a glider. First time over the Gulf of Mexico in Gulf Shores, Alabama and I can't wait to glide over the Pacific in Hawaii! ~ Kalyn and Kandyce Hudson ~ Gulf Shores, Alabama ~

I want to thank Mrs. Mary and Mr. Chip for all the support and help they provide. I want to thank the young people who support The Original Glider Ride: Kary and Taylor, both are very enthusiastic and sympathetic, thank you. I want to thank Mr. Bill founder of The Original Glider Ride, Mr. Mark Pilot of The "E" Glider, Mr. Wood founder of The Original Glider Ride, Mr. Steve and Mrs. Suzi partner of Mr. Steve pilot of the Fox, Mr. David experimental pilot of The Breezy and great friend, Mr. Duats, Mr. John Vietnam Veteran, and all so many great people that I met while there at Dillingham Airport. --I want to give another special thanks to Mrs. Mary, Mr. Wood, and to the Honolulu Fire Department for helping me out from the cliff of the mountain. "Being at 900 Ft of altitude with a way to return to safety, awareness and a good pair of lungs always helps." --in my occassion, I have a good pair of lungs which I audioed the loudest calling for help, but I missed out in awareness because I did not carry a map with me. --The mountain is a risky place to bet, and extra batteries and extra water is always help to spare. But somehow, my battery ran out and I couldn't use my radio, but it I ever return to DHL and I am at the mountain, I will try not to go along. Thanks to all the people there. GOD BLESS YOU!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. We had the most awesome time in Oahu with you. The North Shore is very beautiful and what better way to see it than from the cockpit of one of your gliders. Thank you once again for everything that you did for us and we'll see you real soon. All our Love to you Chris and Dawn.xx

Woody, Quite proud & impressed by your accomplishments--Miss Hawaii & you lots-Love & Aloha-keep soaring Vicki

I will be back, but next time I'm bringing my Mom. Thanks Woody

I choose you guys to learn to fly and I am very satisfied. Your crew of instructors have been realistic with my abilities, showing the encouragement when I need it and helping me make it in the air on my own. Thank you Tyler !! Georgina from Haleiwa

My ride was a wonderful experience. So smooth, Chip was a great pilot. He really shows his love for the area and flying. Thank you very much. Bill from Cleveland
