Just goes to show, you just can't please everyone. Great article and great photography. If one is trying to sell gliding as a sport then the visuals are important.

One small general nitpick (not confined to this article): Most of the articles and videos promoting soaring are shot in mountainous areas. This reinforces the public's stereotypical view that soaring is something that can only be done in exotic mountain locales. I have met a number of people who steadfastly refuse to believe that gliders can sustain flight over flat land.. I understand that mountains and gliders are a photogenic mix, but it sure would be nice for a change to have a well produced promotional vid that depicts flat land soaring.
