Human Factors
Routine departure on Runway 24. Cleared to 2;000 feet. Tower gave heading to 200. On IFR flight plan; VFR conditions. Copilot called out glider. Observed white t-tail glider making a rapid left rolling maneuver and pull down; to escape my flight path. No communication from Tower or glider. No TCAS alert. Over in 5 seconds. Tower switched us to departure. Called airport manager to advise him of the event; and request condition of other aircraft. Passengers had full view of glider from rear of aircraft through cockpit window. Rest of flight uneventful. All my lights were on. Glider pilot made excellent combat style escape maneuver.
Premier 1 Captain reported an NMAC with a glider departing FOK airport.
