Default Yawns: Rich and young, but frugal fly Schweizers

Yawns: Rich and young, but frugal
NEW YORK (AP) — They drive hybrid cars, if they drive at all, they fly
gliders not jets, they winch launch only, shop at local stores, if
they shop at all and pay off their credit cards every month, if they
use them at all.

They fly ecological airplanes: Gliders. No Jets.
Only Schweizer Gliders, because they like to recycle. They are happy
with 17:1 L/D.
They rather fly a 2-22 then a 3-33.

Dude, it's May, go fly. Save the Schweizer bashing for next November. ;-)
