Wouldn't it be nice if Sports Illustrated did an article on a Soaring
Contest - especially if it was in the swimsuit issue, using gliders as
backdrops?

Then again, you would probably have to clean all that body paint off
the gelcoat afterwards....And then there is all that silicone!

Seriously - could SSA contact SI and invite them to a contest, say the
15M Nats at Uvalde next year?

Many years ago when my contest number was SI I thought it would be fun
to send a nice picture with the contest number clearly on the glider
to SI to see if I could get it published. Never got around to doing
it before I changed ships and numbers. Anyone want SI for a contest
number it is available.
