Exactly what is "dolphin soaring"? Flying along faster than best glide speed, hitting lift, then pulling up or
zooming in the thermal, then pushing over and speeding up as the plane leaves
the thermal. Not bothering to stop and circle! When the conditions
are right, one can fly many miles at high XC speeds without stopping to tank up
in thermals.
Also known as "porpoising".
