Default Growth in soaring


The vast majority of people can't afford second homes either, but that
business has boomed in the US in recent years.

Ha!!, maybe we need crooked mortgage lenders to run glider schools
It ain't about the money for the boomer crowd...and I hold out hope as
their knees start to creak more they may become a better source of
newbies. Look at the HG crowd, without them wearing out their landing
gears, soaring would really be hurting for new members. I think the
PG crowd also has potential to be the gateway into sailplanes as
well...but a few years off for that group still.
