Ha!!, maybe we need crooked mortgage lenders to run glider schools

I had that thought too.


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.

I think we would do well to create the dogma that that is the normal
progression of things in the soaring world.
