![]() "Soarin Again" wrote in message ... In the U.S. we have access to airspace, provided we follow the rules. Your opinion that those who blatantly disregard the rules are simply pushing the boundaries, is hogwash. You can't possibly know if it is 'hogwash' or not unless you have detailed weather info and the results of their baro calibration. Talking to the pilot before posting to this forum would not only be the gentlemanly thing to do, it will also do more to protect our right to fly than your public nitpicking possibly could.

The horror of it all. It's true, I too got into sailplane racing for the money and the groupies, but I stay with it just for the fun of it.
