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

Let me get this straight - we are going to show off to the world an
ancient glider which is no longer allowed to fly because it crashed and
is considered unsafe. Does not sound like wise PR to me.



Lane came up with the idea. Donated the glider. Is funding most of the project. Is doing much/most of the work.
Your contribution is to criticize him.
