Needs a bit more tuning to be useful but the thought of 6000 asylum seekers a week being fitted with a pair and being told

Something tells me you fellahs would like it over here in Alberta. Sailplanes seem to get the more extreme stuff…had one fellah take off near Edmonton, Alberta in the morning and land near Winnipeg, Manitoba in the afternoon (haul out a map and you’ll see that is a very long trip for not having an engine!).
Also, down in southern Alberta the mountains let the guys in the sailplanes hit 30,000+ ft after letting go of the tow at 1,500 ft.
Sweet all over
