A Soaring Plane Takes Off

   IT MAY SEEM LIKE A DREAM TO IMAGINE YOURSELF FLYING ONE OF THESE GRACEFUL SOARING 'PLANES, but we will make it possible for you to do so in the Haller School of Soaring Flight. It will become as simple to you as any other sport under the tutelage of our expert gliding and soaring instructors.
   SOARING developes normal human capabilities which otherwise remain dormant. It is the best means of becoming familiar with atmospheric conditions to a degree that is seldom attained by even the most experienced motor pilots, and it teaches the student how to use these forces to the best advantage when flying in motor planes as well as motorless planes. Moreover it is financially within the reach of everyone.
   GLIDING is the best and most inexpensive type of flight training. Just as the naval apprentice has first to serve a certain time aboard a sailing vessel in order to get acquainted with the elements, so should every airplane pilot learn gliding and soaring as a preliminary training to motor flying. The experience gained in gliding is of inestimable value to every pilot. It is by gliding that one gets the first real feel of flying that can never be properly developed in power flying.
   Soaring flight is an indispensable accessory to the science of meteorology and its effects on aviation.-The glider and soaring 'plane have been vital factors in the development of the light power 'plane in Europe. Their trend and effect on light power 'plane designs which are becoming popular in this country is undeniably evident.-Gliding and soaring mean the development of a nation of natural pilots in a sense never before dreamed of by the average American An hour spent
