Didn't the one Paul Hansen own get destroyed due to inadequate tie

IIRC, once Paul got over the initial shock, he realized that the damage
wasn't as bad as he first thought. It probably wasn't totaled, but I
don't
know whether he's yet had it restored.
Paul's Sisu is still damaged and in its trailer at Avenal. I think there
may even be extra wings in the trailer. I recall looking in there at one
point trying to identify what was in the trailer and it was stuffed to
the
gills.
Paul has stepped away from soaring for quite some time now.
In the January 1967 National Geographic there is a feature "Sailors of the
Sky", with a nice picture of Dale May in N331A soaring over Chicago
lakeside.
