NASA Pik-20E Log Books / $500 Reward

[David Shelton[_2_]]

I'm restoring a Pik-20E that was formerly owned by NASA. Unfortunately, NASA can't seem to locate the log books. My sources at Dryden believe that one of the pilots or mechanics may have taken the log books home at some point.. It's probably a long shot, but I'm offering a $500 reward for the log books. If you know anyone who used to work with this aircraft, please let them know. Thanks!

David:
According to Bertha Ryan's biography of Einar Enevoldson, he flew that glider a lot when he was at Dryden. He might know where they are. I assume his contact information is with the SSA.
Good luck
ROY

Thanks guys. I will definitely reach out, and I just ordered a copy of his book.

If you have the time could you post a short write up on what NASA was doing with this glider? Thanks.

Absolutely! My first priority is to get the ship flying, but I'm planning to put the history online at some point.

Losing your logbooks, for what ever reason, is a royal PITA. To guard against this photograph every page and upload it to a photo sharing site such as FLICKR.
