Good answer. Thanks, Marc. Although I have to say that often there is a
glider "way up there" when I enter his thermal and there is no way I can
read his numbers. So you must mean when we get fairly close, which
obviously you do as you phrased your answer. Stiil, makes sense as you say.

So much for history. Isn't the real question now: "Why do we still use
them?"?

Uh, would you prefer "Glider with red trim at latitude 39 degrees 17.05
minutes, 119 degrees 23.22 minutes, 11,500 feet, WATCH OUT I'M RIGHT BELOW
YOU!!!!"
