In memory of Spreader, the flying dog. Once the mascot of the Sunraysia Gliding Club, Spreader got his name and lost most of his teeth snapping at the winch wire with all its knots. Spreader's flying experience came about when he misjudged things and got caught between wire and skid. It was a very short and very final experience, according to those who were there. It's true, and I remember Spreader.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] flying cat I've been flying with a dog. Not my dog, but the instructor's who was in the back seat. Also in a Blanik. This was in NZ so maybe it does not count in terms of odd stories. My cat used to travel to visit his parents on a motorbike. He preferred riding in a backpack worn facing forwards sitting on the tank under the faring. He used to get his head out and enjoy the ride. Maybe it was the Blanik which caused the legendary gliding cat to out his claws? At least my cat was travelling in style on a 1975 square case 900SS.
