My wife tells me I'm still grumpy in the mornings over this mess, so having been married to the same gall for 53 years you guys really have to fix this problem, less you cause me to join the "Alimony Club" of ex pilots who meet every week in the local pub! On Monday {its a long weekend over here} I intend to fly my very old airplane to three airfields all within an hours flying, the intention is to sit and watch the ATC gliding going on at each one of these fields, Maybe I wont be so grumpy after this therapy! This will be taking place all over Canada, in spite of the vast distances that the gliders have to be aero towed to give every ATC unit an equal chance learning to fly, so why in a country which would fit inside one of our lakes cant it be done? How about just firing the dead wood at the top and have the private gliding clubs run it? After all, this worked pretty well during WW2 when most of the EFTS schools were run this way as part of the BCATP.
