### Gliders

While in the [Spanish Air Force](/wiki/Spanish_Air_Force "Spanish Air Force"), Gordillo was able to attend [glider](/wiki/Glider_%28aircraft%29 "Glider (aircraft)") school at [Jerez](/wiki/Jerez "Jerez").
Gordillo received his initial glider instruction at [Monflorite](/wiki/Monflorite-Lascasas "Monflorite-Lascasas") in [Huesca](/wiki/Huesca "Huesca"), Spain. He flew the [Blaník](/wiki/LET_L-13_Blan%C3%ADk "LET L-13 Blaník") type glider for three or four flights and then upgraded to the Pirate type glider. For flight number 8 he flew for 5\.5 hours and qualified for Silver C. On flight 9 he achieved Silver C distance and altitude and finally flew for flight number 10, to actually receive the C glider rating together with the [Silver C](/wiki/FAI_Gliding_Commission%23Badges "FAI Gliding Commission#Badges") glider rating, something that no one had ever achieved in Spain.
