Default US Air Force buys 19 DG-1000 trainiers

I am sure that everyone will agree that soaring is a fantastic
introduction to aviation for the Cadets but like most .gov entitites
many people with direct knowledge believe that they have not spent our
resources very effectively.

But heck, what's $5 million? *It's for the children.


How does getting training in a DG-1000 prepare young kids when it's
likely all they will do is sit behind a monitor and fire missiles via
a Predator!

But, I am in full agreement, if it's for the children it must be a
good thing! And that would be the children making the gliders as well
as those flying them....booooyah!
