Shack! Good hit on a nerve.
On the other hand, to answer an earlier question about Academy grads who are involved in soaring, Jim Payne comes to mind. Chesley "Sully" Sullengerger also flew at USAFA Soaring. His most notable gliding achievement was with an Airbus 320.
I know eight other glider pilots who flew at USAFA Soaring. None glided to 76000' or the Hudson River. But neither did they embarrass themselves and their alma mater in a spectacularly public way.
