Glider pilots need to wake up and smell the coffee.

About 10 years ago, following the Dunblane shooting, Britain's recreational taget shooting community lost the right to own certain categories of gun.

If glider pilots do not adopt a more cooperative attitude, they could find themselves in the same boat and frankly few people in the community at large would shed many tears for them, since most people are more interested in their sun flights than protecting minority rights.

Like it or not that is the reality.

It would be a real shame if this happened.
