I was waiting to launch in a Regionals out of Littlefield about 20
years ago when a Lubbock TV crew came up to interview me in my
cockpit. I thought I had the answers to all the usual media questions
down pat, but they blindsided me with "Without an engine, how do you
come down?"

Try to come up with a non-condescending sound-bite answer to THAT
one...hope nobody saw me on the tube...;-)

I would just agree that it's a real problem - gliders tend to stay up
forever and travel vast distances. You need pilot training to make them
come down where you want them to....
