No Cory, you are only defending your position as haveing been on of
two folks who have chosen to attack Mitch for offering up food for
thought.
If there are all these people who, like you are bashing Mitch Hudson,
where are their posts?
More often than not Mitch's glider resides in Moriarty where he has
made it available to yet another fledgling cross country pilot.
Mitch's Discus is clearly in need of a refininsh and that is the
reason he bought it a few years ago for a very reasonable price. At
the time, Mitch was an E-5 in the Air Force, (he is now a 2nd Lt.),
and was on a very limited source of income. He was convinded to buy
the Discus so that he could improve his cross country skills.
Mitch did that, but more inportantly, he has chosen to share the
"wealth" by letting others who could not afford access to high
performance equipment fly his glider. I would venture to guess, the
those who have flown his Discus have spend more time it it than Mitch
has.
Currently he is in Nav training in SAT, but has chosen to make his
ship available to lower time junior pilots to fly.
What we need is a few more Mitch Hudsons in soaring who are willing to
extend them selves to promote the sport in the manner in which he has
done.
