US Air Force buys 19 DG-1000 trainiers

The benefits of working for a company that prints its own money...

The AF Academy alumni association bought the Duscus-2's and the Duo-
discus's, not the US taxpayers. The DG-1000 will be used to give all
cadets an introduction to aviation and were purchased with taxpayer
dollars. BTW, two cadets pulled off a clean win at Air Sailing
Regionals last season.

Okay, I can't keep my fingers off the keyboard any longer. It's great
that the Academy is getting new gliders, and the DG 1000 may be the
glider best suited to their needs. I just have a problem with buying
from a company which may have committed suicide by treating owners of
legacy gliders harshly. On the other hand, an order for 19 gliders
should help DG's bottom line. Will it be enough?

And why wait until April first, when everyone will be expecting a hand
grenade lobbed in?
Haha!
