I understand that was a joke but....
....we did a static display at an airshow with both a PW5 and an ASW 27.
In several cases we told folks about routinely making flights of 120-150
miles or so in the PW and they were extremely impressed. We then said "go
ask him (the ASW 27 driver) how far he goes and what his average speeds
are".
The range of capabilities (and associated costs) was interesting to them.

We had a member who used to regularly do glider acro demos at airshows--that
really got their attention.

Do: hire nubile females to pretend to be glider groupies or pilots.

Don't: display anything manufactured by Schweizer or PZL-Swidnick

Do: Give out free beer.
Don't: demonstrate the use of the glider's relief tube.
