Default US Competition Pilot Poll and Election

Dear Luke,

Back in my day, I busted my A$$ to get the Wright Flyer to have a 3/1 L/D. Regardless of who was first, in my time, I was WINNING.

While soaring has become less popular, year after year, vacation weeks have not changed much. All I allowed at the Wright Factory was 2 weeks off. That was a century ago.

Vacation remains unchanged, soaring participation HAS changed. Boom! Mic Drop!

Thank you for your thought, but soaring was once much more popular. Orville just rolled over in his grave when he heard that about all this mess.

Strong thermals, cloudstreets, and tailwinds,

Wilbur
