I knew it! I just knew it! All those left wingers were
really right wingers. Or was it the opposite?

Let's remember this is not an USA only discussion group,
well on second though maybe one of our rainy island
types could provide details of Tony Blair's piloting
exploits.

One of our politicians in France, Michel Rocard, who was
prime minister during the second presidence of Francois
Mitterand, is known as being a glider pilot. He was flying
in my club, at the time when I was not already member nor
flying. People who were there at that time say that he came
always with a lot of bodyguards and during his flights an
helicopter of the army was flying around. After he decided
to no more compete for high polititcal positions, but just
remain the mayor of a little town, a weekly magazine showed
a picture of him in a glider as an illustration of his new
interests, but it was obvious for any glider pilot that the
picture had its left and right side swapped: the sliding window
and the opening handle of his parachutes were on his right
side.
