morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills;
one
miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars
in
rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue
of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings.

No fuel needed for a glider, right?
No Pilot certificate, photo ID, medical, AFM/W&B or logbook needed for
