Well, I wish I knew ho to fix that. The link to the cover on York Soaring's web page gives you an idea, but the first few pages of the 2nd section are filled with many more photos.

I have a PDF of the pages involved, but no idea of where to post the file. Perhaps this will work:

If not, can anybody help??

50,000 power pilots read COPA FLIGHT, the journal of the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association, every month. The May issue, which is being mailed at present, has a stunning colour photo of a Duo Discus from Glide Omarama on the first page, - above the fold, as a teaser to an article that starts on the first page of Section B about my recent pilgrimage to Omarama New Zealand.

I submitted this to COPA with the objective to induce these power pilots to rethink their prejudicial stereotype image of gliding. The strategy is to feature in the lead a real pilot's pilot, Marty, with a compelling hangar flying anecdote, who logged 2,000 hours in fighters and now owns a Turbine Legend (if you don't know what that is do Google it). Marty took a couple of conversion flights in a Twin Grob, (that's after his first glider flight when his F-104 Starfighter became a glider after the engine pooched), and then flew with Gavin himself for a four hour flight touring the Mt. Cook area; he proclaimed it the best flight of his life.

I hope some of these readers will be motivated to give gliding a try. At my club, we have one member who read a series of three articles on gliding in this publication, and was inspired to sell his Super Cub and get a glider rating.

This publication was very receptive to an article on gliding. I suggest that those of you in other countries try something like this as well.
