Gliders at Oskosh
wrote:
Is this exhibit at OSH going to be an outside booth, with the gliders
right there? If so, then I think it is about time! I was harping about
this several years ago; that there was very little soaring presence at
the biggest aviation event on the planet. But that was before the
regime change in Hobbs, hopefully soaring can increase its visibility
by having a nice display with all sorts of gliders. What exact types
are almost immaterial, but a motorglider, a 15m, a homebuilt and a
vintage (my favorite) would certainly cover the bases. In fact I'd be
willing to bring a Scheibe or Fournier motorglider if I could actually
find one to buy...
This is a good thing!
Don't be bashful about contacting Ian Cant, the fellow I've been talking
with, or the Anne (haven't met her), the other person listed as the
contact for the event. Ian is enthusiastic about the event and there is
still time to influence the event at this point.
