for the hangar queens

Let's have a moment of silence for all the hangar queens, languishing
on the ground. Here are two 1-35s that are at least 25 years old, both
with less than 500 hours of airtime:

I find that really a shame, because I have 128 hours in a 1-35 and it's
really a nice sailplane, in my opinion. Then again, I like tha flaps
better than spoilers. A 1-35 is really pretty rugged, and makes a fine
first sailplane, if one can get past the fear of looking down over the
nose at full flap.

The one with only 250 hours is the real puzzler. Ten hours per year?
Whoever owned it should have sold it off while it was still worth
something.

But if he(we) thought that way he(we) wouldn't have bought a glider in
the first place.

Now Al,

Tell us what you really think. Speaking of that what are you flying
these days?

sold the 22 to Europe.

I am borrowing a Ventus A until I get a new toy.

Well,

If you're used to an ASW-22, you would probably think they fly like
crap. It's kind of like wealth... it's relative... Everyone knows that
Oprah is wealthy... but if Bill Gates woke up tomorrow with Oprah's
money... he'd hang himself! For someone that doesn't think he has to
beat the world, they fly fine. I did my badge work in one and it was
more of an accomplishment than having done it in glass, but then, less
of an accomplishment than doing it in a 1-26. My PIK flys like crap, or
does it? I don't have any trouble with the local Discus drivers...

Hmm, Ventus A flies like crap, but goes like stink!

All a matter of priorities.

Still a shame about XC-capable gliders (even Schweizers) just sitting
around like that...

True, I would rate them more as a club rental glider than a hard core
XC machine.
