Here in Northern UT the master rigger many of us used to perform parachute repacks passed away. Two other people have been identified, both take a week or so to perform the job with one charging $60 and the other charges $75. I do not mind paying for good service, and with this only needed to...

In 1960 there was a fiberglass sailplane made by Viking Aircraft in Edmonton, Alberta. It was nice looking with good performance for its day. Does anyone know what happened to the sailplane and the company? It must have been one of the earliest glass ships. thanks. Mike
