And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Recently, there was a glider meet up at the local airport and the metropolitan airport's ATC was issuing NOTAMs to watch for the "gaggle of gliders" over the area.
It's a Jonker with the optional jet engine 'sustainer'. An electrically driven propeller is also available. https://jonker-sailplanes.com/propulsion-systems/ Al_in_Ottawa
For a "significant" birthday Smarter Half offered to fund a Bucket List item. Since Dawn Wells was unavailable I contacted several sailplane operation in the NoVA area. "How big are you?" they all asked. "Six foot, six inches, 265lbs." "Hum, would you consider an introductory flight in a Cessna 172?"

Keeps them from landing off-field in someone's wheat or corn. The engine does not have enough power for that sailplane to be self-launching.
