Imagine a pterosaur cocktail party, as an older, experienced
'saur gives some advice.  Let's listen in.....


"I got just one word for any young glider graduating from college.
 Just one word."

"What's that, Mr. Robinson?"

"Thermals!"

"How's that Mr. Robinson?"

"Thermals!  You know... updrafts and all that.  Not them fuzzy long
 underwear, mind you, I mean the atmospheric phenomenon.  I understand
 they can be important to gliders!  Yes my boy, you want to corner the
 market in thermals!  Why I bet you could stay airborne for hours...
 even days maybe, and travel hundreds of miles against the wind.
 Hardly ever have to flap!  The possibilities are tremendous!"
