Back in 70ies, we shared office with our friend architect D.Politopoulos. He has never
been on a sailplane, but he has heard so much about them, that he was in the spirit to
create following three drawings.
The three drawings were first printed in the Greek "Sport Aviation" magazine,
with an article about the chances of turning an airplane pilot into a glider pilot.

The Politopoulos drawings are in very good resolution to be printed in poster size.
The drawings that follow are small casual comic drawings, printed mainly in the "Air
sports" newsletter.
We start from some of C.Pikros drawings.

Jokes are difficult to translate for different cultures around the earth. We hope that
soaring is an international culture.
