The "big ole antique" airplane Bruce referred to was Bill Friend's
latest Sailaire. Bill is something of a Sailaire aficionado. His old
blue and white Sailaire frequently finished at the top of the LOFT
contests, but Bill would always talk about building a new one with
"Phillips entry" and other wing mods. So the one at the OVSS FRU was
the one he's been threatening to build for a while.
I'll try to find out from Bill what the modifications were and list them
all for the exchange.
However, don't think it was just the plane. Bill is an excellent
pilot. He's heroic at LOFT for his ability to work "garbage" lift for
an entire task. And he knows his plane very well.
Would have been interesting to have Bill and Captain Jack in the same
air with their sail-porkers.

Darwin Garrison
