I am sure we all do a lot of reading about gliding
and also store away lots of info from other sources.
So for a bit of fun I thought I would start a
trivia list that we could all add to.
Wikepedia if you wish.
Chris McDonnell
1. The first two men to set foot on French
soil on D Day (though they landed on their heads through a barbed wire
fence (as ordered)) were glider pilots.
2. The first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong was a
glider pilot.
3. The first gliding record (post 1903) was set by
the Wright Brothers (duration).
4. Most heavy cargo aircraft today are developments
of cargo glider concepts.
