How about when your father thought that he would slay the 1970
Standard Nationals competition with his secret Corning IR scope to
see thermals with. He sneaked it into his 1-23 before take-off on
one contest day, having never tried it before. Once he got off tow,
he tried to raise it to look for thermals, only to find that it was so
long that it hit the canopy to where he could only see his instrument
panel through the scope. Busted.......but he joked about it later.
He was a nice guy...
