New Word 'SOARING'

I saw the typo on boyfriend (buyfriend) and was amused. Soaring is essentially
a home grown magazine that does a great job considering the resources it has.
I suppose we could add another editor, but that would increase our dues. I'd
rather keep the occasional typo. Good thing it was not bi-friend.

What I don't get is the Too Late To Classify section. How come there are
always repeat ads in there? Also, how can anyone write an article about
actually enjoying a flight in a 2-33? I thought the mantra was glass, glass,
glass.

Hey Jim- You are sounding like an elitist snob. You fly in an older,
well established, and relatively wealthy club. Many others, likely the
majority, don't. Lots of people do enjoy flying 2-33's or 1-26's or
whatever.
The mantra should be to enjoy whatever you fly and encourage the other
person to do the same. It does not matter what you fly, but rather that
you fly.
UH

Sorry, but I thought my sarcasm was showing by mentioning the mantra of glass,
glass, glass. Personally, I always questioned the value of transitioning to a
G-103 fleet instead of the good old 2-33s. It has substantially raised our
membership cost and consequently driven some members out.

I am not an elitist slob, but most of the management and their cronies refer to
anything not glass as POS. It is almost humorous to hear a student with less
than ten flights refer to a 1-26 as a POS.

When I started flying, I compared the cost of renting a 2-33 to the cost of
renting a G103. The decision was a no brainer. Learn to fly in a 2-33 and
then do 3-4 flights to transition to the Grob. No big deal. At my club, the
thinking is one has to unlearn the bad habits developed in a 2-33.

The Great news is....I quit PGC! Time to have fun!
