I should add that I would probably acquire and install a well designed
and functional HUD if available, though I would strenuously object to it
being compulsory.

Also, what good is a HUD if you become so dependent upon it that you
don't see the collision coming from outside its field of view? Or we
going to have a sensor suite as in the F-35?

Here we go with "compulsory" again. When will the safety nazis get
out of soaring and let those of us be who enjoy the sport without the
constant whining of the pussies who don't feel "safe" without some
electronic gizmo to lead them down the shining path.

I saw on the news last night about how baseball stadiums are going to
be putting up netting to "protect" spectators from fly balls. Maybe
the fans will stay home to watch baseball on TV, then stadiums and
baseball teams will go broke and the players will have to get real
jobs and baseball will become a sport again that people will play for
fun. Just like gliding should be.

Bring on televised grand prix soaring while I put on my flame suit.
