Soaring Flight Images - 540 - NSA's new (to us) L-33 Solo

A "Quick and Dirty" expose on our newest aircraft, a LET Blanik L-33 Solo glider.  We start with bringing the parts out of the trailer, assembly, cockpit familiarization and then first flight by Chukar.  Unfortunately I was in the middle of an FAA checkride and did not get footage of Stoney, Blackhawk, Coot and Skimmer also flying the L-33.  Thanks to Aaron Derringer for filming Chukar's landing as I was "unavailable" for that!  Next in the film is my turn to get a checkout by Skimmer, and go for a high tow followed by a pattern tow.
