Thank you for sharing. This was on my short list but there were so many good ones that I couldn't get to them all.

Dave's motorglider talk was good, but the Arcus bailout was really good. It
confirmed what I've observed over decades of soaring: if you can get out of the
glider, the parachute will work and you will survive, often without injury.
Half-humorously, if you fly a two-seater, be sure the passenger is young, strong,
and highly trained (worked for Dave)!
