On page 12 of the October issue of Soaring there is a great article, "A Perfect Day". Take a look at the aircraft that are being used to spread the joy of our sport. It would seem that all I see are Schweizers! It is way too early to imagine our sport without the Schweizer fleet.

I was at Pierson, FL's gliderport a few weeks ago and there were three 2-33's slogging it out all day giving primary instruction. Sarah uses one at Chilhowee to give instruction. Our club is giving two check rides this weekend in our 2-33. I admit that I would rather fly our K13 but thank goodness for the 2-33's out there! The 2-33 is definitely the "backbone" of many organization's training operations.
