![]() wrote in message oups.com... Hmm. The thought occurs to me, and I truly mean no offense to anyone, but, Would the Amish fly a glider? It doesn't have a motor, after all? We told the group I met that if they ever made it to ames to come on out and take a flight with the club. They didnt say that they wouldn't. They would probably only be willing to use a bungee launch. maybe a winch run by clydesdales?? And if they do fly a glider, itll be the Cherokee. Go Wood! There is a wonderful flying field called Grimes that is home to the Golden Air Age Museum ( http://www.goldenageair.org/) a few hours west of Philadelphia, in the middle of Amish country. They have a few airshows every year and quite a few Amish people show up to watch. I don't know if any have ever gone up. A buddy and I often take a Hutter 17 there to demo vintage gliders. I can't say whether the Amish are more intrigued by the Hutter, since most everyone always gives it a special look over anyway. |
