Thanks to all who emailed! Apparently I had the name wrong, it is
actually "Hutchinson." The part I'm still trying to track down is,
what happened to the Ventus. I know what some people say the answer
is, and I'm trying to figure out what is real and what is legend.

Thanks, Bob K.

Hi all,

I'm looking for any information I can find about a sailplane pilot
named (I think) Hutch Hutchins. Last I heard, he flew in Southern
California, and he once owned a Ventus. Is he still around? Where did
he fly? I'm trying to track down a piece of soaring lore that he was
allegedly involved in. Anything you can tell me would be helpful.

Thanks, Bob K.
