Is that title a result of a bad translation to English? I wonder if


"Sky Full of Thermals" was intended.


It was. The Polish title is "sky full of Żar", while Żar is

Sebastian's home airfield and one of centre mountain gliding points in

Poland. "Żar" is the name of the airfield and mountain, and it also

means "heat" in plain language. It was impossible to translate the title

perfectly.

The title works for me if you accept "heat" = "energy". All atmospheric phenomena, especially that we call "lift", is driven by heat energy.
