Default Which Way is That Thermal?

Here is a way to solve two problems with one action:

When you approach the thermal drop a lot of aluminum confetti. When you
circle around, just fly to the spot that is climbing. At the same time, the
radar operator will spot you on the screen so jets can avoid you.

The problem I have yet to solve is the littering - but you cannot have
everything. Maybe the confetti can be coupons that can be redeemed and the
nearby store operator will pay you to drop them.

I am putting my broken aircraft back together and need to get back in the
air - going stir crazy.

Colin
