I think it was a Cessna 150 or similar. I always like to say, with no engine there are simply fewer things to go wrong. And of course with a 40+:1 glide ratio it's a lot easier to stay within gliding range of a landable spot than in a typical light airplane. -- Mike Ash Radio Free Earth Broadcasting from our climate-controlled studios deep inside the Moon
