Larry Linville (Maj. Frank Burns on TV's M*A*S*H)was an aeronautical
engineering student before turning to acting. I remember seeing an
interview long ago in TV Guide that had a photo of him sitting in the
cockpit of a wood glider he was building (and apparently flew).


A search of his name in the online "Soaring" archives will find (at least) one
letter from him talking about his homebuilt project...A modified Pioneer II as
I recall. I seem to also recall (in another issue?) a picture of him/it.

Geez...the things stuck away in memory recesses!
