Arnie Schwarzenegger & celeb gliding

Well there are those that invest their money and buy cheaper gliders and die
rich and happy, and then there are those that blow it all on new gliders and
die broke and happy.

I was believing it until you said he flew an LS-3. With all his money?!?
No way.

Actually, this is true. I hear him on the radio frequently. He flies
somewhere out of southern california and uses the call sign "Juliet
Tango" if memory serves. I think he flies an LS-3 though, because it
has a wider cockpit.

I don't think Arnold Alphabet has to worry about saving money on a glider.

He's got to save pennies to fuel his fleet of Hummers.

Also he probably likes the 3 because it's heavy wing panels give him a good workout.

I believe that the late Larry Linville was a glider pilot. He was known to
most as Major Burns on MASH.

anyone know if this is true? or of other mega celeb
type glider pilots.

Don't forget!

RICHARD BACH

I think he actually flew in a standard Nationals in Arizona about 23 years ago!
Marana

Richard Bach actually spent several months in the late 70's camped at
Airsailing in a large trailer. I took a picture of Dale Dye's daughter
standing next to him.

Well, Richard & Leslie spent time rambling all over
the southwest in the late '70's... at Estrella, he
often serenaded us on his keyboard as sunset faded
to dusk. (And BTW, Richard was kind enough to loan
his ASW-19 to Les Horvath for the 1978 US Standard
Class Nationals at Marana - which Les won.)

Regarding Richard Bach....

About 15 years ago, Sam Foote donated his motor glider (I believe a Scheibe
Falke SF-25) to MIT Soaring. Sam commented to me that the previous owner of
the motor glider was Richard Bach. He stated that Richard at one time flew
it across the US.

By the way, the Scheibe was the 2nd glider that the late Sam Foote donated
to MIT Soaring. The first one, a Schweizer 2-xx was in partnership with a
family member of Dennison Manufacturing (office supplies) (I believe).

and stared in a detective/police show which aired in
Germany under the
title 'Der Dicke' (The big one). He owned/flew an Applebay
'Mescalero'. Maybe he would qualify as a soaring celeb.

The actor was William Conrad and in the US, the TV
show was called 'Cannon.' (I thought he flew a Caproni?)
