Flying Like Superman
Advanced Arm Dynamics patients in Oregon become part of a unique flying experience

Five Advanced Arm Dynamics patients participated in a glider ride adventure last weekend in Hood River, OR. Sponsored by the Oregon Active Foundation, the participants each had the opportunity to ride with the glider pilot who was towed to altitude and then released by the tow-plane for a 30 minute ride. Some passengers chose to sail quietly, taking in the breathtaking views while calmly floating through the air. The more daring of the bunch encouraged the pilot to take twists and turns before gliding gently back to earth. Riding a sailplane or glider is the purest form of flying there is.

“It was the best rollercoaster ride I have ever been on!” commented Lynn Whitehead.
