If Peter Cesco with his myriad experience does not know that gliding is many times more dangerous than the drive to the airport, then I am truly amazed. In my forty nine years continuous participation with the sport, I can now count thirteen people I knew who have perished whilst perusing gliding. Two of these were members of my own club, and several were competition associates. I do not have any answer as to how we promote our sport if we are honest and face up to the fact that it is essentially “bloody dangerous” . This is of course a dilemma facing the GFA and individuals or groups trying to promote our sport. However I cringe when I hear glider pilots try to perpetuate the old myth “the most dangerous part of gliding is the drive to the airport” Otherwise I agree that Peter’s TV spot was a creditable performance.
