I'm glad to see the Academy acquire a fleet of modern gliders, and
support an active XC, contest, and acro program (something it couldn't
do when it was stuck with those nasty Schweizers!).


When they had their 1-26s, they always competed. I thought it was

amusing
how they noted their off-field landings in the 26s. Each one had a

little
row of Holstein cow stickers below the cockpit rail, one for each
outlanding. And acro in gliders as a sport makes about as much sense as
up-hill skiing.
