Speaking of gliders….
Isn’t it wierd, that when I posted the picture of the gliders at the Air Force Academy, there turns out to be a HUGE story about it. There is a bunch of newspaper coverage of the pilot who ditched the US Air plane into the Hudson a couple of days ago. He is an Air Force Academy grad, who flew those gliders around as a part of his training. The story is HERE.
Excerpt … Sullenberger graduated in 1973 from the Air Force Academy, where he flew the glider planes so familiar to El Paso County residents as they drive along Interstate 25. What he learned as a cadet and as an Air Force fighter pilot averted tragedy on the frigid waters between Manhattan and New Jersey.
