Good idea Robert. I have always thought that Rodrigo's 2nd movement of his "Concierto De Aranjuez" had great possibilities for a gliding sound track. It has that feeling of a hot day in Spain (or Australia) about it. The last movement, associated with a glider landing at sunset and dropping it's wing to the ground on the last note, has often been in my own mind as I have done it myself.
Also R Vaughan Williams' "The Lark Ascending" would work well with a vintage glider flying tight little circles in a thermal. Unfortunatly I think both these composers are recent enough to be copyrighted.
