I miss it soooo much at times.... Once in a while on the Gillies I'll get a similar thrill but nothing compares to heeling over in a wing overDavid Gilmour, already an accomplished pilot, learned to fly a sailplane. Shortly after one of his first solo flights he ignored a critical lesson and consequently experienced wing icing and nearly crashed as a result: sailplanes cannot tolerate additional weight and most have no means to melt the ice while in flight. Reference to "the circling sky", "suspended animation" and "state of bliss" are all real feelings one feels while flying a sailplane. He described the feeling as extremely humbling and very fortunate the flight did not end in disaster. Other current events in his and the groups life paralleled the experience and hence numerous metaphors from a real life experience. This information is recalled from a publicized interview of Gilmour many years ago. Rasalas49 (talk) 16:12, 2 December 2009 (UTC
