This brings back a vague recollection from many years ago that a record
setting vintage glider was in a hanger at Mojave Airport. Could be the
same glider. Also heard that the glider was actually owned by the LA
Museum of Natural History and was on loan to the Museum of Flight. But,
don't know if any of this is fact or current whereabouts of the
glider...

Good luck,
Steve

since been closed. Does any one know where the glider is now ?
Inquiring minds need to know, I met the son of one of those Navy
pilots. Thanks.
