Notice the youthful appearance of these pilots.
Perhaps this type of glider will be the catalyst for promoting the
sport!

Brad,

dont worry the youth is alive and well, flying short wing gliders in
the midwest, and occasionally travelling to exotic glider locations.

I recently assembled my Standard Cirrus on the high school campus with
the aid of the JROTC. Maybe a young glider pilot was encouraged to
start flying.

That looks like a beautifully prepared K13 and a lot of fun. Our club's 2
seater is a Grob 103 Twin II Acro and sometimes I miss flying a K13 from
the back seat and feeling the air and the thermals directly...

Why? And is that because of all the icy drafts and noise from air leaking
in around the canopy frame? Give me a nice comfy and well sealed Grob 103
or K21 anyday.

My son was in the Airforce JROTC during his high school time and we
tried to do just that. No interest by the 'Major'. My son wasn't even
recognized for being the first and so far the only Airforce JROTC
participant at this school to get a pilots license of any kind.... I
guess the objective is to groom recruits, not glider pilots.

I also heard from one college that would not even allow posting flyers
to advertise for the the local glider group out of fear for being
sued. The logic was that they could be held liable should somebody get
hurt or killed since they promoted such dangerous activity.
