Best Looking Sailplane
#1. AS-W12 The in-flight black and white photos on Soaring were
absolutely breathtaking. On the ground, it sits up like a WWII
fighter. The ship fairly oozes testosterone.
#2. AS-W22. For utter beauty of line and proportion in flight.
Ungainly on the ground.
#3. Libelle with racing canopy for classic lines.
#4. ASW-W20a. Form-follows-function. The ultimate all-around best
glider ever built. Beautiful in form but even more fror what is it
capable of. Images of the Four-On-the-Floor-Gang blasting down
the Appalachians with bags of pennies and lead shot as seat cushions,
wings bowing mightily in the turbulence.
