Does this mark the opening of 2014-15 "2-33 bashing" season?


No "bashing", just stating facts.

I've got a lot of time in the Golly Whomper, as Pez used to call it. First glider ride, got my private rating in it, etc. And in it's day it was the backbone of the US fleet.

I just don't think that is true anymore, and hasn't been for many years.

Kind of like the old wives tale that nobody ever died in a 2-33 crash (look it up).

But if anyone has the interest in this to prove me wrong with numbers, knock yourself out!
