But glider will do. Just about the funnest (and the prettiest) toy ever invented.

The Avro Arrow, I love how it looks. Also reminds me of the space shuttle. Too bad they canceled its development and destroyed the planes

Certainly! Many pilots still call them gliders. I just prefer the tearm "sailplane" because it's more descriptive of what it actually does, sort of like a sailboat only in 3 dimensions.

This is a pic of the one I usually fly. I know she aint much to look at but she's very light, handles well and I LOVE the open cockpit

LOL, "coolness.jpg." Must be fun to fly planes. I've never even been on one let alone flown one

Never been on one? That's easily remedied. Go visit the nearest airport and pay someone a few duckets to take you up. Better still, locate a flight school and take a lesson! It's far better than a video game.

That's an oldy . Your own?

I trained on ASK-21's and 23's, nice n stable. I went to Spain before I could get my license though, so never flew some of the more advanced gliders.

Not mine, it belongs to a local flying club. Most of the club members prefer the Hot Glass birds so I tend to fly this one more than anyone else LoL.

You trained on ASKs? Sweet! Our club had one years ago but sold it, I'm still kinda mad about that LoL
