Yawns: Rich and young, but frugal fly Schweizers

Yawns: Rich and young, but frugal
NEW YORK (AP) They drive hybrid cars, if they drive at all, they fly
gliders not jets, they winch launch only, shop at local stores, if
they shop at all and pay off their credit cards every month, if they
use them at all.

Someone at the AP heard of gliders and winch launching?

wow. How much do they consume to travel to a place where they
can winch launch?

Could this be a fake AP article?

They fly ecological airplanes: Gliders. No Jets.
Only Schweizer Gliders, because they like to recycle. They are happy
with 17:1 L/D.
They rather fly a 2-22 then a 3-33.

Looks more like a fake article.

Anyway, if they are smart, they drive VW TDI Diesels (better mileage
than the Prius in many tests, and no battery life concerns); and they
have been driving them since before the Prius came out.

Also, if they value efficiency, they may well be looking for high
L/D, mightn't they? Or perhaps it is in looking for gliding on lowest
cost...
