how do you pronounce Grob?
Hi,
Is it "Grow"b? Is it "graw"b? The former. Ciao, MM -- Marian Aldenhövel, Rosenhain 23, 53123 Bonn http://www.marian-aldenhoevel.de "I ran some quick calculations on it. He's about 80% on the right track. That leaves him only 20% dead when he crashes." Bob C

how do you pronounce Grob?
Interesting. In the US, pretty much everybody I know pronounces it
Grow"b (long O). I guess that's the non-metric pronounciation! More useless trivia: My glider is an LS6-b according to the flight manual. Yet everytime I see an LS in print in the US it's called an LS-6B, LS-4A, etc. Maybe because that's how we name our military planes (EA-6B, for example)? And if a Grob 103 is a Concrete Swan - then a Schweizer 2-32 is an Aluminum Overcast! Love that beast too... This is bad - I need a thermal fix soon! Cheers, Kirk 66
