Default is the US sailplane fleet shrinking?

Its true ! Due to the import of many 13-meter ships.
We aim however to stop the trend by importing lots
of Antares 20E at 20-meter span.

See ya, Dave ;-)

I have found a very interesting article by Paul Schweizer in the
September 1990 issue of Soaring, titled "Is the U.S. Sailplane Fleet
Shrinking?" In it, the author discussed his fear that the answer is
Yes.

With the dollar being so low comparing to anything else - except maybe
Peso. I doubt if We buy much of anything made in EU...

I've been reminded that fleet shrinkage is also
due to the Sparrowhawk...

See ya, Dave...
