Soar with Judy as she talks about her first time on a glider.

As a child, Judy Ruprecht dreamt she could fly like a bird. As a teenager, she went for a flight in a glider. When the pilot turned over the controls to her, assuring her that indeed she could fly, Judy was hooked. She has since flown gliders for over forty years.
