Glider-Rides on Oahu

Back in January, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer had an article about The Original Glider Rides, a company running glider rides (d'uh) on Oahu.

The article doesn't mention the glider model, but from the description and the picture, I'm guessing it's an SGS 2-32.

This week's episode of PBS's perennial Nature was
about birds of prey. The episode included an extended treatment of
various type of flying, including soaring flight. The material on
dynamic soaring was particularly interesting and included footage of both radio-controlled and full-size gliders.

PBS has a site devoted to the episode, and the KQED website shows several repeat broadcasts later this week.
