Default FAA to ground 80% of Glider Training Fleet... it's just aquestion of when

Maybe an eventual grounding of 2-xx's will be what it takes to create enough demand for two seaters in the us for attractive financing and lower costs and maybe even stateside construction to all come together in a perfect storm of glider building. Then in another 50 years or so we'll have another mass glider extinction.

Time to get back to restoring my old clubs 2-22. Their other glider is a ka7 . Oh, almost forgot about their blanik.
