Looking for an SGS-135

[[email protected]]

A fright dog friend is looking for a 1-35 and I thought I saw one for
sale in the PHX area but have not been able to relocate it. Any one
out there know something about that? Buhler, Buhler?

I saw on Tim Mara's Webpage where one had sold on 4-10-2006. It flew
out of Air Sailing in NV. There were others listed in the past few
months but I saw no active listings there today. I couldn't get to the
SSA site this morning. By the way, just what is a "fright dog friend"?

Hope your friend, fright dog or otherwise, finds a good 1-35. I cut my
X-C teeth in one and still have a soft spot for them.

Three on SSA web site (wasn't accessible earlier, but okay now). One
listed in 2005, the others early 2006.

One at Mountain Valley in Tehachapi, CA. I don't think that it is
officially for sale but I believe the owner will never fly it again.
Check with Jane at (661) 822-5267.

One at Boulder that hasn't moved in years. Try John Campbell at Mile
High Gliding for more info on contacting the owner, 303-527-1122.

There's one at TSA in Midlothian, Texas. It hasn't moved in years,
either. There's also a Zuni there for about what a 1-35 goes for. The
1-35 is a C model, and I believe it belongs to Greg Aiklen. I have no
other knowledge of the ship's current condition. I recall that he
advertised for a partner a couple of years ago, I think to get it
airborne and flying regularly. He might sell it outright, though it's
not actively for sale to my knowledge.

The 1-35 website is

Still wondering on the "fright dog friend" thing...

Jack:

A fright dog is a pilot who hauls boxes for a living. The ultimate
fright dog works for FedEX and makes big bucks!

I've got some slack dog friends, but that's another story...

Speaking of FedEd...here is an amusing clip of appraches into Memphis w/
a Thunderstorm moving in.
