Default Cutting shirttails???

Basically, cutting off the shirt tail marked you as the
new guy and any stories or ceremonies that went along with it were simply
there to add weight to the moment.


A glider student's first solo usually ends in a dousing with a bucket
of water. As gliders often relies on hot rising air to sustain them,
a refreshing drench is soon dry, and all in good fun and camaraderie.
