A Schweizer 2-33 glider soars over the citrus fields of Immokalee searching for thermal air lifts to prolong the pilot's time in the sky on Friday, June 27, 2008. The engine-less plane is towed into the sky by a power plane where it is released as the pilot employs glider technics to traverse the sky in a fuel-friendly mode of flying.
