Gliding isn't SEXY? Are you kidding me? Take the wings and tail off these things and most of them look like a sperm. Okay, that's not sexy but how in the heck is this sport going to survive if not by marketing? I agree, go out and fly, enjoy yourself, yadda yadda yadda. But without a reasonable marketing strategy there may come a day when there are few if any places to go and enjoy soaring

I have a partially thought out idea about this. This is still half baked so cut me a little slack. I frequently talk to people who say they really, really want to take up soaring but can't. When asked why not, their response is vague and unconvincing as if they are struggling with internal motivations. I just read a disgusting paper published under the heading "managing consumer behavior"

Christopher Reeves, the movie "Superman", was a glider pilot. We used to point to one of the instructors at Van Sant AP and tell folks, there's the guy that taught Superman to Fly. Actually, it didn't seem to

The idea about getting a celebrity to fly and making it cool is a good one. John Travolta, an accomplished pilot lives about an hour north of SLGP. Perhaps we could invite him down for a ride? His 707 would be a bit much for 3000 feet of grass but I am sure there is a single or light twin available for him to fly. Tiger Woods spends a lot of time in Orlando. Perhaps we could invite
