Can we be more than Glider Pilots…?
I just watched the news. The World seems to be going to s###, with this great search for a new energy source to replace oil. Or is it all just hype? Do I express many peoples concerns? Or am I alone in thinking this? Maybe I’m just new to this part of the world… Our sport gliding, if made watchable and understood by a larger audience, has the potential to influence the thinking about new natural energy sources. Fine, I will pause right there so you can call me a raving lunatic, and assume I have lost my marbles! Ok, please read on and allow me to continue... IF this new Sailplane Grand Prix kicks off in New Zealand next year 21-29 January 2006 (www.gp06.com) We have the opportunity to continue this new 21st Century Air Sport with an important message.: We are aspiring, living, flying proof that the earth can provide us with the energy we need... so can we be more than glider pilots this Century? Muse on that for the winter… anon. |
