Default Gliders on TV History Channel

The History Channel has produced an excellent "Tactical to Practical" segment
on gliders and soaring. Congratulations to the many who made it possible,
including Bret & Garret Wilat of Sky Sailing at Warner Springs, CA, Carl
Herold and Soar Minden.

Aired Tuesday, April 27, 2004 8:30 PM CST. Watch for this segment again on
The History Channel, typically on Tuesday evenings.

I just saw it, from about 10:30pm to 11:00pm PST (California). It's the
second half of "Tactical to Practical" on The History Channel.

Looks like some places it shows in 2 parts. On Directv it shows as a 1
hour show.

One day after History Channel aired the "Tactical to Practical" glider segment
and I've received my first telephone call from a potential new glider pilot
seeking dual. He saw the segment and it inspired him to surf the web. He's an
airplane pilot, so transition to gliders should be fun, as he acquires a new
set of flying skills.

Be ready for the inquiries to soar and new visitors at YOUR soaring club or
commercial operation. Meet and greet them. Cheerfully answer all of the
"dumb" questions. Get them into the glider for a intro flight and sell them
the package!
