I think it's a GREAT use of my tax dollars - keeps it out of the hands
of some jobless liberal low-life! And thank you for your generous
contribution, too, Walt, old boy!

Go Air Force!

Now if we could get the swabbies from Annapolis and the whoops from
that old place in New York with 200 some years of tradition unmarred
by progress to join the fun, we could have a fun series!

(yes I know the gliders were donated).

A club was formed for the USNA with a generous donation from a
midshipman's family and support from M-ASA. Unfortunately, they
acquired some L-13's, so are struggling with that issue at this
point. The L-13 fix is out there, awaiting EASA and FAA approval, but
not cheap. Looking forward, with additional incentive, methods may be
developed for extending the L-13 service life to 6000 hours.
