So much odd about this ad: why did he land so long? Why did they leave the glider sitting
there? Are they going for a rope to tow it back? Who will walk the wing: the guy that landed
long, or the crew that forgot the rope? And was that really a hot, sporty car in 1969? I don't
think so!

Ad Agencies!!
Chuckle..Why would you want to diss any car comparing it with a 2-33? Well maybe a Yugo.

That may have been filmed in Sedona AZ.
If I landed and that Fox ran up to me in that new car, I'd leave too!
First stop a liquor store and then a hotel room.

Good eye, Nick. Definately looks like Sedona airport... and a fox.

I am curious what was the google search you were conducting "for a friend" when you found this, and great find!!

Girl in 1969 Rambler falls for guy in 2-33.

I'd say that's pretty much the definition of the shallow end of the gene pool.

I was actually doing some looking around for information on the Ted Nelson Hummingbird. It brought up a link to this page with "46 Motor Glider Premium Footage..." Part of the fun stuff we get to do on the board of the National Soaring Museum. All the remaining Hummingbirds are in museums now.

https://www.gettyimages.com/videos/motor-glider?phrase=motor%20glider&sort=mostpopular

If you scroll around in there, you can see footage of the prototype Hummingbird. It was a two seat, side by side, retracting engine, self launching sailplane. It evolved for low rate production into a tandem seating configuration that looks similar to the later Schweizer 2-32.

When I see an aircraft tail number in an old movie or advert I like to look it up to see if the ship is still flying - especially gliders.

I found that N5752S was previously registered to a 2-33A and that registration was cancelled in 1989. So that prettily painted ship is no longer with us (DOA or left the country) and the tail number was subsequently reassigned. Nothing new there. BTW: I could not find any NTSB report for N5752S (yep, I looked in the two NTSB databases for pre-2009 and post-2008 events).

N5752S is currently registered to a Blank L-13 (registered to Silver Creek Glider Club located NE of St Louis*) as of 2002. The odd part is that this L-13 was manufactured in 1967, two years before the car commercial was made!

I'm curious what happened to this L-13 between 1967 and 2002. Lived at another club? Lived outside the US before being imported into the US? Is it flying now with a repaired spar?

Expiring minds want to know.

Thanks, John OHM

* The SSA "Where to Fly" database shows an L-13 associated with the St. Louis Soaring Association but none at Silver Creek. Mysteries inside of mysteries.

Snooping around on that website brought up this:

And now we know why they are called 'Sail-planes'!

Another Caproni invention perhaps??? This one makes the nine-winged
airliner look absolutely sane. :-)

Thinking about that Caproni - it features in "The Wind Rises", a Japanese
anime by Hayao Miyazaki. If you like these films, this is a cracker.

No, I think this one sprung from the mind of an intrepid American.
Can you imagine how much better this thing would have flown without the sails?
