To add insult you consider powered flying is akin to "driving a bus". Like the same A320 Bus's that take you to Benidorm..
I said the £200 bacon roll run was like driving a bus. There is much more to power flying than that. And I'm not a glider pilot, I'm a power flying instructor which is how i know that gliding experience tends to sharpen handling skills.


I get disappointed by people who undersell flying in all its forms, which is how your posts read to me.

And it's buses, not Bus's. Are you a greengrocer?
