I used to do it.Â* Started at, say, 500' AGL and worked my way down on
successive flights.Â* It was a hoot!Â* I'm older now and want to get older
still, so I don't do it any more.Â* I'm still not willing to tell someone
else not to have a good time.Â* As Dirty Harry used to say, "A man's got
to know his limitations."

Fun - probably. Useful - no. Good for the sport - questionable. Good role model - ehhh. Judgement and risk management - not so great. Having to deal with the aftermath and bad publicity as the local airport and member of the community- not great and as as it's happened before, visiting glider pilot does something profanely stupid and the local folks clean up the mess.

I think I'll "pass".
