Default Gliders at Oskosh

Eric,

You are absolutely correct - Anne and Ian deserve all our support - in
time, money, gliders, etc to make this initiative work.

And our untarnished respect - this isn't an easy thing to do! And
realistically, finding room for a 25m ship in the display area would be
challenging, I susbect. That reason alone makes the Sparrowhawk a good
choice, in retrospect - and it does have a certain "what a cool little
glider" appeal to it.

On the other hand, maybe we should all fly in to Oskosh together,
release nearby, and do a simultaneous contest finish! No? Then how
about holding a regional contest there the week prior to or after
Airventure?

Anyway - Anne and Ian, thankyou for your efforts, and good luck! And
hopefully my slightly tongue-in-cheek (it's winter and stable, and the
field is wet, dammit!) posting will have raised awareness of your
initiative a bit.

Kirk
