All Soaring Club Members by Slick
Don't be an asshat. You can sit there and argue about how things shouldn't be generalized and get this thread off topic, or you can take this little reminder and stick it in the back of your head the next time you go out. I hate to tell you, but not all people can afford the luxury of a...

L-13 by Ray Lovinggood
