Glider Auction AND BBQ September 30th
Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2006 8:51 pmFellow Pilots!
Fellow Feathers will be holding an auction all day Saturday, September 30th, 2006 for gliders abandoned in the Fellow Feathers Clubhouse at Fort Funston. Many of these gliders have been up in purgatory for years and it is time to clean house. The airworthiness of a few of these gliders is questionable, but might provide the necessary material for that land sailor you’ve always dreamed of building…Fellow Feathers does not guarantee the airworthiness of any glider included in this auction. Money (if any) generated by this auction will go to Fort Funston site upkeep and improvements.
Rumor has it there may very well be a BBQ taking place, as well. The items up for auction will be left outside the clubhouse, so feel free to open up a bag and set up one of the gliders listed below:
Glider #1: Bag of Bones (Frame Only).
Glider #2: WW Raven: Brown & Yellow w/ Orange Keel Pocket (Black Bag).
Glider #3: UP Gemini: Rainbow Colored Sail Pattern (Blue Bag).
Glider #4: WW Raven: Dark Blue & Light Blue w/ Yellow Keel Pocket (Wills Wing Bag).
Glider #5: UP Glider (Model & Size Unknown): Yellow Dacron Leading Edge w/ Yellow & White Under Surface.
Glider #6: Unknown Make & Model Glider: Magenta Mylar Leading Edge w/ White Sail (Airfoil Down Tubes / Blue Bag w/ Red Middle and Ends).
Glider #7: WW Sport?: Blue Mylar Leading Edge w/ Yellow & Teal Sail.
