Default Glider in an unexpected place...

Ok, it's 9:30 Saturday morning, I'm driving through the center of Detroit,
and something catches my eye. I look over and there it is, a glider making a
left turn at a few hundred feet AGL. What the *&^%$$^&?????. I mean, I'm in
the middle of the city!!! Well I look again, and notice that it has the fat
nose of a motor glider - and then I remember that I'm not far from Detroit
City Airport. Ok, mystery solved, there is (or was?) a club that flys motor
gliders out of City, but it sure had me going for a minute.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
