Those who think that there are two kinds of pilots and those who
don't

Have you ever wondered why that young kid on the shiny new hot
ship is flying his glider more upside down than the right way up? Why some folk
like to spiral till their wing tips touch the ground before pulling out?

Or why others treat cloudbase as the point to start falling out the sky not
launching off on a major cross country. How can they possible want to just throw
themselves around the sky, they should be using that valuable altitude to go
somewhere, to learn something about real flying?

Or maybe you’ve been the one stood on the ground as the local expert glides
gracefully over you head, glider trimmed perfectly, brain full of formula and
calculus. Speed to fly, angle of glide, cross wind components chundering through
their heads whilst their eyes scan instruments uninterested in the fantastic
view.

How, when he looks so ungainly on a glider, can he consistently fly so well? He
thermals like a skidding brick; legs akimbo, head thrust forward with the grace
of a drunk duck. Yet somehow, although seemingly unable to look in either
control or comfort for most of the time, he consistently ends up in the right
place at the right time. In comps he’s right up there in the lead gaggle
scorching most of the “upside-down” team yet the fellow can barely drive a car
properly never mind ride a skateboard.

Thanks to Andrew Vanis. No doubt what kind of pilot wrote this bit
of drivel.
