Having owned or flown all the mentioned gliders I would say that the ASW20 was the Greatest Of All Time and even today has survived the test of time, very gracefully I might add. How would you rate the GOAT? Bob Don't forget that the ASG-29 is really a ASW-27-18. So it's catching up to the ASW-20 numbers. Given a choice, I'd take the '27 over a '20. But if I had a nice '20, it would be hard to justify paying to upgrade to the '27. I went from a ASW-20b, to a ASH-26E, and now own a ASW-27b. All wonderful ships. 5Z If you combine production of the 27 and the 29 the production number is less than half of the ASW20's produced. I had a new 20 back in the late 70's wish I had it back, and the old girl is still flying. Today I have a 27B, very nice ship , I am looking for a 29 pure glider, just have a hard time saying motorglider. Just taking a look at the tale of time the 20 gracefully sit atop the podium. |
