Default Landing on snow-covered grass

Gail taught gliderguiders for several years out of Sylvania ... if you think
it is short in Assless, try it behind a Super Cub with a runout engine
towing a thousand pounds of glider {;-)


Interesting! I didn't know that she was ever in SE Wisconsin! What
year(s) was she there?

The Sylvania Swing was only necessary when we were flying our usual
clapped-out rental Cherokee 140 on a hot summer day. That thing
(N32SA -- last I heard, it's still on the line at C89) was such a dog,
and if the tires were a bit low, or we had company in the back seat,
hoochee-mama, that thing was SLOOOW to accelerate.

If you were taking off the East, those trucks on I-94 just got bigger,
and bigger, and bigger...
