Service Ceiling L23 - Litigation by
[email protected]

Did I miss...

What Glider would Santa fly? by
Nicholas Kennedy
If Santa got rid of his reindeer, what would he fly?
I think he's kinda old school but still needs performance.
The ASW 20 or a LS3 might be good for the old man.
Roomy cockpits.
What do you think and why?

How are Our Glider Vendors Faring? by
Semantics Michael
The sport of soaring is, of course, a relatively small community and what might impact our suppliers and dealers can affect us all. Curious as to how the US and non-US suppliers have fared so far during the pandemic.
