I was in USA a few months ago, sitting at Santa B Airport waiting for a
flight to Denver.
I was in awe of the beautiful sculpture of a soaring glider outside the
terminal. It sat on a pole and banked and turned as the wind gusted and
changed.
Who built this thing??

Yes, it looks like an ASW-17 or LAK-12. Tim Lawton is the Community
Education Liaison at the airport, and might be able to help you.
