KFC and Gliders: A Surprisingly Delicious Combo
Who knew fried chicken and flying had much in common? Surprisingly, KFC and video games do. Genshin Impact fans, listen up!
Wings of Delicacies: The KFC Glider in Genshin Impact
Want to fly in Teyvat with extra flavor? The “Wings of Delicacies” glider is your ticket. This Genshin Impact glider is known as “Wings of Feasting”. It’s not your common wind catcher. It’s dipped in KFC goodness, metaphorically of course.
- China Exclusive (Initially): Snagging these wings meant getting involved in a Genshin Impact × KFC collaboration in Mainland China. What a tasty team-up!
- Global Twitch Event: For those craving crispy wings, a Twitch event via the Adventurers’ Guild was held. Redemption codes were given like hotcakes.
If you see someone gliding in Genshin Impact with wings inspired by fried chicken, you now know the story.

Gliding in the Real World: Beyond Fried Chicken
Enough about KFC for now (we’ll return). Let’s discuss real gliders. The kind that fly without engines and make you feel like a bird.
Glider Pilot License: Wings of Your Own
Dreaming of flying through the sky? Getting a glider pilot license is necessary. But it’s not just about jumping off a hill.
- License Required in the US: “Yes, you need a glider pilot license (certificate) from the FAA to fly a glider, unless it’s an ultralight.” Uncle Sam wants you to know what you’re doing.
- Training and Exams: “Gaining an initial glider pilot license requires 10 flight hours and 20 flights total. A written exam and checkride are also essential.” This involves book learning and practical tests. Think of it as flight school for silent flight.
The Cost of Gliding: Is it Pricey? Hobby?
Gliding is not free. It costs money. Let’s review the price of flights in a glider.
- Single Glider Flight Cost: “A single glider flight costs between $50 and $150. Prices depend on flight length and location.” A fun afternoon in a glider can cost you.
- Glider Pilot License Cost: “A glider pilot’s license costs about $6,000. It includes $1,200 for rentals, $1,000 for instructing, $3,000 for launches, and $650 for exams.” Becoming a licensed pilot needs more investment. Think of it as buying freedom.
Glider Safety: Is it Risky Business?
Soaring high without an engine sounds risky, right? Let’s examine how safe gliding is.
- Relatively Safe: “All aviation has risks; however, gliding is considered relatively safe. Gliders are constructed solidly, and there is no engine that could fail. In case of an accident, there is no fuel to ignite.” Surprisingly, gliding is safe. No engine risks mid-air failures and tough construction helps. No fuel means less fire risk too.
Safety should always come first. Follow necessary training and procedures. Statistically, you might be safer gliding than crossing a crowded street.
Sugar Gliders: Cute, Cuddly, and… Challenging?
Hold on! Are we talking about gliders? Yes, and a different kind too. Meet the sugar glider. They do not fly through the air but leap from furniture in your home. They are small nocturnal marsupials kept as pets. Cute, yes. Simple care, not quite.
How to Get a Sugar Glider: Finding Your Fuzzy Friend
Thinking about adding a sugar glider to your family? Here’s how to find one in a responsible manner.
- Reputable Breeders: “Look for breeders who care about the health of their sugar gliders.” Research breeders who prioritize animal well-being over profit.
- Rescue Organizations: “Think about adopting a sugar glider from a rescue or shelter.” Giving a home to a glider in need is a great option.
Cost of Sugar Gliders: How Much Do These Little Guys Cost?
Sugar gliders are small, but their cost varies.
- Baby Sugar Glider Price: “A baby sugar glider from a good breeder costs between $350 and $1500.” Baby gliders tend to cost more, especially from trusted sources.
- Adult Sugar Glider Price: “An adult may cost between $150 and $1000.” Adults are generally cheaper. Adopting an adult is an option too!
Bonding with Sugar Gliders: Building Trust
Sugar gliders are not like dogs or cats. Building trust takes patience and a gentle touch.
- Floor Time with Toys & Treats: “Sit on the floor with toys and treats nearby. Your gliders will explore and interact. They may climb on you. Use toys and treats to engage without trying to hold them.” Start slowly. Let them approach you. Treats can help build trust.
Challenges of Owning Sugar Gliders: Not All Sugar and Spice
Sugar gliders are adorable, but they aren’t easy to care for. Expect challenges.
- High Needs Pet: “They are challenging due to their diet, large space needs, and socialization requirements. They are nocturnal and need attention.” They are like high-maintenance furry friends.
- Social Animals: “Sugar gliders are social; they shouldn’t be alone. They need at least one cage mate.” They dislike loneliness. Get them company.
- Nocturnal Nature: “Most active at night, they can disturb owners who want daytime pets.” Expect fewer peaceful nights if their cage is in your bedroom.
- Specialized Diet: “Their diet needs fresh fruits, veggies, protein, and special pellets, which takes time and money.” They need more than kibble; they have picky tastes.
- Large Cage Required: “A large cage with room for climbing and a secure lock is essential.” Think more vertical mansion than hamster cage, and escape-proof locks are mandatory.
- Daily Socialization Needed: “They require daily handling to become tame and friendly, demanding a lot of your time.” They need daily attention. Think of them as needy pocket friends.
Sugar Glider Legality: Where Are They Welcome?
Before getting a sugar glider, check local laws.
- Banned in Some States: “Alaska, California, and Hawaii prohibit sugar gliders.” If you’re in these states, look elsewhere.
- Legal in Most of the US: “In the U.S., sugar gliders are allowed in 47 out of 48 states. California is the lone exception.” Most states will allow these adorable pets with open laws.
Fortnite Gliders: Dropping in Style
Back to virtual gliders! Let’s glide into Fortnite’s world, where gliders represent style and showcasing your hard work.
Travis Scott Glider (Astroworld Cyclone): A Rarity
The “Astroworld Cyclone” glider is part of Fortnite’s history from a Travis Scott event, which became complicated afterward.
- Concert Reward: “You had to attend the concert to receive it.” Originally earned by attending the Travis Scott concert in-game.
- Removed from Shop: “Following controversies, both the Travis Scott character and Astroworld Cyclone glider were removed from the store. Since then, the glider is no longer for sale, increasing its rarity.” Due to issues, both items left the store. This made it very rare and sought-after.
If you see someone using the Astroworld Cyclone glider, they are either an original player or got lucky!
Rarest Gliders in Fortnite: OG Status Symbols
Regarding rarity, let’s discuss some rarest gliders in Fortnite. These gliders shout “I played before it was popular.”
- Astroworld Cyclone (Again): “The Travis Scott skin and Astroworld Cyclone were both removed from the store amid controversy. Now this glider is very rare.” Yes, it deserves a second mention for its rarity.
- Mako Glider: “The Mako requires true OG status. Last seen over 2,600 days ago in the shop, you had to reach level 25 in season 1 to unlock it.” This glider represents true OG players. Last seen over 7 years ago! Unlocking required hitting level 25 in Season 1—major bragging rights.
Other Fortnite Gliders: Variety is the Spice of Victory Royales
Fortnite offers a glider for every style. Here are some more examples:
- One Shot Glider: “One Shot is a Common Glider earned by winning a match in the Wick’s Bounty LTM.” Earn it by showing off your Wick’s Bounty skills.
- O.G. Glider: “The O.G. is an Uncommon Glider that you can buy for 500 V-Bucks in the Item Shop or through Bizzle’s Locker Bundle for 1,800 V-Bucks.” A classic available for purchase. Sometimes you need to buy your style.
Genshin Impact Gliders (Non-KFC): Wings of Teyvat
Back to Genshin Impact! Let’s explore gliders that aren’t chicken-themed (though we adore KFC wings). Teyvat features beautifully crafted wings to collect.
Wings of the Starlit Feast: Pizza Hut Edition

For those daring to enter Natlan, “Wings of Soaring Flame” can be earned.
- Natlan Tribe Reputation: “Wings of Soaring Flame is a Wind Glider obtained by reaching Tribe Reputation Level 4 with 5 tribes in Natlan.” These wings require solid tribal diplomacy in Natlan. Level 4 with 5 tribes is a quest for bold adventurers.

Before you increase your reputation, unlock the system itself.
- Unlock Quest: “Knight of the Realm is a World Quest that unlocks Mondstadt’s Reputation menu. It requires reaching Adventure Rank 25 and completing Archon Quests Prologue, Act I: The Outlander Who Caught the Wind.” Adventure Rank 25 and Archon Quest completion required. Work required.

Gliders in Other Games: Beyond Fortnite and Genshin
Gliders aren’t limited to Fortnite and Genshin Impact. Other games let you glide or soar.

Bonus Round: Randomly Related (But Still Interesting) Tidbits
Here are extra snippets of information that relate to food, games, and maybe gliding in a metaphorical sense.
Chick-fil-A Secret Menu (Maybe): The “Not-So-Secret” Menu
Chick-fil-A masters waffle fries and politeness and has a… “not-so-secret” menu? More like customer creations and off-menu hacks.
- “Secret” Items: “Spicy Char. … Loaded Chicken Waffle Fries. … Fried Chicken Club. … Chocolate Cookies and Cream Shake. … Root Beer Float. … Cookie Icedream Sandwich. … Icedream Fruit Cup. … Spicy Chicken, Egg and Cheese Bagel or Biscuit.” Some rumored or known “secret” items.

Reward redemption varies from KFC rewards to game rewards… Let’s generalize the process.
- Typical Redemption Process: “To redeem your rewards, typically you’ll log into your rewards program account (online or via app), navigate to the redemption section, select your desired reward, and follow the prompts to complete the redemption process.” Log in, find redemption section, choose reward, follow steps.
