What a total dickhead -FFS what does it matter to you? - still
grieving over 1812?, some Canuck did you wrong in the
past??.....
with guys like you around no wonder soaring is in decline.

Following the FARs is not optional. Pilots who violate them can
impact ALL
of us, including you. I wonder how that inspector will react when
you call
him/her a "dickhead?"

Thank f..k I don't have to soar in your godforsaken country. Chester
has graciously come on here and explained how the flight was
undertaken - now you should be celebrating the fact that it was a
magnificent flight, but no you want to raise merry hell and look for
some indiscretion. I hope the whole gliding world shuns you.
