Okay, you can have the blue Viagra ship, hope you can keep it up. I want the HOOTERS sponsored glider. My pit crew will be a bevy of scantily clad, busty young ladies with tight orange shorts and tighter tops. Of course my glider will have TWIN power plants. Glad to hear these things will only cost a QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS EACH.

Seriously though, we do need to do something to grow our sport. Exposure to the public is everything. When a major championship gliding event fails to attract a news camera from a local tv station, something is wrong. The recent Senior Championships didn't get the coverage that the local Bike Week event did. There were stories every day on the local media about the bike event but nada on soaring. Sad.
