Arnie Schwarzenegger & celeb gliding

Well there are those that invest their money and buy cheaper gliders and die
rich and happy, and then there are those that blow it all on new gliders and
die broke and happy.

I was believing it until you said he flew an LS-3. With all his money?!?
No way.

I heard Arnie flew gliders (sorry sailplanes) esp the
LS6


Actually, this is true. I hear him on the radio frequently. He flies
somewhere out of southern california and uses the call sign "Juliet
Tango" if memory serves. I think he flies an LS-3 though, because it
has a wider cockpit.

I don't think Arnold Alphabet has to worry about saving money on a glider.

Blast from the past.
Didn't I read somewhere that Neil ("giant step for mankind")
Armstrong was a Gold C pilot?

Now we're *really* into trivia...

The back cover of a 1960's "Soaring" magazine features the 4 co-owners of
the 300th, brand spanking new, Schweizer 1-26...one of whom is the (then
unknown) NASA test pilot and astronaut Neil Armstrong. He later partnered
in a Libelle.

I'd be very surprised if Arnie could fit into an LS6!

Ian

Yah, LS-6 is for girlie-man!

Don't forget, also in the '60s, Larry Linville (Maj. Frank Burns, 4077 MASH).
Had an article in Soaring about building a glider. (Some kind of flying wing?)

Steve

I believe that the late Larry Linville was a glider pilot. He was known to
most as Major Burns on MASH.

He's got to save pennies to fuel his fleet of Hummers.

Also he probably likes the 3 because it's heavy wing panels give him a good workout.

Don't forget!

RICHARD BACH

I think he actually flew in a standard Nationals in Arizona about 23 years ago!

Richard Bach actually spent several months in the late 70's camped at
Airsailing in a large trailer. I took a picture of Dale Dye's daughter
standing next to him.
