Fellow Soaring Enthusiasts on RAS,

The SSA and specifically the SSA Growth and Development committee have accepted the donation of a Blanik L13 for use as a static display at aviation events. Meant as a promotional tool, this purpose built display will allow adults and kids to experience the excitement of sitting in a glider, manipulating the controls and having their picture taken. Adorned with flashy paint and logos, trivia, and web addresses, we envision this aircraft will serve the sport for many years.

Even though the glider and trailer were donated at no cost, the restoration will take volunteer time and money. I encourage you to follow the blog at

Come share the excitement as we try to convert this bird into the SSA flagship. Bookmark for regular updates and feel free to help in any way you can.. The goal is to unveil the ship at Sun N Fun 2015.

Thanks
