I don't support requiring glider medicals. I took the previous
poster's comments to be a version of John Denver's "I wanna die in my
airplane". I take issue with sentiments like these. Messy, bad for
the sport. It's a sh!tty thing to wish for.
And it destroys a perfectly good glider someone else could have enjoyed
for many years. So, do your last flying in a two seater so the other
pilot can bring the glider back.
I don't think glider medicals will make much difference, and the AOPA
doesn't think the facts support medicals for the smaller GA planes, either
