In the true spirit of "most beautiful glider" threads, the answer is
obviously the Hall Cherokee II. First one flew in 1957.



Do you have some links to your favorite pictures of it?

Thanks for the links. Nice bird.

Too bad that is not a two seater so that pretty fiance could ride along.
You need to design a special enlarged version to make that possible!

You missed his posting back in October where as part of the marriage she
had to buy her own Hall Cherokee II. They have a matched set.
