Imagine ...

...Taking off from our airport on the north shore of Oahu in our brand new motorglider. You and your pilot make the 10 minute flight to the Koolau Mountains ... and Then, at about 3000 feet, youR pilot shuts off a perfectly good engine! You are now experiencing the quite sensation of pure flight ... no sound, but the wind rushing past your wings ... soaring effortlessly like a bird ... fueled only by the steady tradewinds that grace the remote, lush valleys of the the Hawaiian Islands.

Motorgliders are a relatively new class of airplane that incorporates the best performance features of both pure gliders and energy efficient powered aircraft.

If you have ever gone up in a glider, you know what an exhilarating feeling it is to fly like a bird.... no sound, no vibration. Just the sound of the wind rushing past your wings. Its truly one of those "you must try this at least once in your life" experiences that cannot be missed.

Gliders require a tow plane to get you to elevation, and the requisite pilot to tow you up, and wear and tear fuel oil and maintenance on two aircraft. Motorgliders are able to fly to the best "soaring grounds", turn off their engines, feather the prop... and glide ... gaining altitude by
thermaling (spiraling tightly around a rising thermal airmass) or harnessing ridge lift caused by our steady tradewinds hitting our steep mountains that cause tremendous lift. No tow plane or pilot is necessary!!

If you are going to be on Oahu during your vacation, and want to try something completely new and exciting, then come out to the North Shore for a change of pace. Dillingham airport is about a 30 minute drive from Waikiki.
