It had to be Bill.
Hard to forget the High Country Soaring ad featuring the AS-W17. What
a gorgeous glider.
And where's that 17 now? Haven't seen it since the O2 bottle was
surgically removed.

with the swoopy red stripes on the tail. *It's probably the most
photographed ASW-17 around.

What's the story on the O2 bottle? I have not been following this group for
very long.

Thanks.

The O2 bottle needed hydro testing. As it was 40 cu ft, it couldn't be
taken out in the normal way.
The paint job on the tail was world famous.

Oscar Zulu, the ASW-20, had 20 lbs of lead shot in the
tail. It flew like butter.

I was in the partnership that consisted of Don Engen and
Mark Barnett. It was flown for several years at the
Hiltons. Mark would have more history as would Tom Stowers.

Nicest ship I ever flew.
