Wow, no end in sight here. The SSA (Soaring Society of
America) Achievement Program for full size soaring has stood the test of time
(60+ years I believe). Why not the LSF Program? For those Level II’s
or III’s needing contest points one week at the Nats will give you all
the points you need plus the opportunity to learn from the best. No
matter what compromise someone comes up with it won’t stand the test of
time. The reason is for those that want to be the best and be measured by their
true skills they will put in the time and effort to become Level V or IV or
whatever. For those that finish the “watered down” version
they can never state that they became Level V. People all over will then
be saying that Level V in this program is only as good as Level III in the LSF program
or whatever. It’s pretty amusing to me that those that want the new
program aren’t willing to do this task or that. I think Skip Miller
is Level IV.9 because he refuses to go do the 8-hour flight. I don’t
think anyone can argue Skip’s credentials he just won’t be Level V.
Daryl Perkins, Level I. Joe Wurts, Level ? Their choice. Anyone
care to argue their skill level? In the end there are lots of ways to be
measured but to be in that “Elite” group you had to walk where those
who have succeeded before you walked. Jim McCarthy Not as good as many, but proud top be Level V |
