Default Gliders in the New Dulles NASM

Just got back from a preview of the new museum. Finally, another museum
with some gliders on display.
SGS 2-22, several Bowles models ( just beautiful looking), the glider that
reached 49,000 ft, WWII German glider trainer, hang gliders and some others
I don't recall. Most were suspended in perpetual zero sink. I know they
have the Texaco glider at Silver Hill but not yet on display. That glider
was No. 10 toy model offered by Texaco Gas Stations last year. The museum
will first open Dec 15 to the public.

Jim
