"Green"...* Hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



I say that because just the other day one of the airport bums told
me that his daughter drives a "green" Tesla.* He also told me that,
where she lives, all of the electricity (read that recharging her
car) is generated by burning coal.* I just shake my head.



Of course, other than a gallon or two of gas (less on a ground
launch) the sailplane is pretty "green".* Except that it's generally
white. ;-)

I finished another soaring shirt design. Lift Is Good. Almost like the Life Is Good clothing line only way better because it has lift which definitely makes a glider pilot's life better than good. Lots of styles and colors available. Make sure you check out the front and back sides.

Here's an idea: a silhouette of something akin to the Concordia with the words "Fly Open". ;-)


And another, kind of a double entendre. GREEN AIR for me!

Dan, the model sailplane guys call thermals "green air", nothing environmentally correct about that. I know it sounds funny and I cringe every time I hear it.


Green air comes from the old pellet varios that had green for up and red for down. This was all before we knew there was something called the "environment".
