Famous glider pilots
Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contribution. Everything that is written in Wikipedia should be verifiable and you set me the useful task of proving what I thought I knew.

I added the section on famous glider pilots to help promote the sport. Many people do not associate gliding with successful people. I think it should be something you aspire to do instead of owning a boring power-plane or boat. I therefore think it is important to keep the fictional glider pilots separate from the factual ones.

Steve McQueen became an active private pilot and at Santa Paula owned a hangar and several planes including a glider. I had a search for evidence for this and only came up with the following. I hope it convinces you to keep McQueen in and Brosnan out. I read more about it once but can't remember where. I have a vague recollection of a Twin Astir.

Incidentally, the convention is to add new comments at the bottom of the user's discussion page.

Thanks again for contributing. JMcC 16:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
