Their training site is a Mecca. It generates enough income to support a training program anyone would want to be in. I would guess the tourism income to the area would cover much, if not all, of the support they get. Take a bunch of talented new pilots. Give them gliders to fly and a place to stay so all they need to worry about is getting good. Coach them all the time with real objectives in place. Reap the reward. UH |

Careful you might begin to sound envious of policies which come dangerously close to socialism. I know you in good ol US of A wouldn't want that. I think anyone who has a medical insurance plan, attended a public school, landed at a public airport, etc.. is somewhat of a socialist. We just like to be in a state of denial here in the US . More to the point, The US does fund the Civil Air Patrol (I am sure to the tune of much more than 280,000EU) which I understand is responsible for introducing more people to soaring than any other entity here. Most of us see this for the investment that it is. |
