Purgatory Gliders

Steve Rodrigues and I recently tried our best to tag and identify the gliders currently held up in purgatory. The gliders now have a number tag with each number corresponding to the following:

Glider #1: Bag of bones (Frame only): I believe the owner of this glider no longer flies and I’ll be touching base with him in the near future.

Glider #2: WW Raven (Size Unknown): Brown & Yellow w/ Orange Keel Pocket

Glider #3: UP Gemini (Size Unknown): Rainbow Colored Sail Pattern

Glider #4: WW Raven (Size Unknown): Dark Blue & Light Blue w/ Yellow Keel Pocket

Glider #5: UP (Model & Size Unknown): Yellow

Glider #6: Unknown Make & Model Glider: Magenta Leading Edge w/ White Sail

Glider #7: WW Sport (Size Unknown): Blue Mylar Leading Edge w/ Yellow & Teal Sail

Glider #8: WW Ram Air 146: Orange Mylar Leading Edge w/ Orange & Yellow Sail (Glider had John Kockelman’s (sp?) name attached)

Glider #9: Moyes Xtra Lite (Size Unknown): White Mylar Leading Edge w/ Orange Sail (This is Raffy’s glider) (Given to Diev by owner)

Glider #10: Unknown Make & Model Glider: Blue Dacron Leading Edge w/ Yellow Sail (This is Roger Barker's Sensor)

Glider #11: Bag of bones (Frame only)

Glider #12: Moyes XS (Size Unknown): Blue Leading Edge

Glider #13: Unknown Make & Model Glider: Blue Mylar Leading Edge

Glider #14: Unknown Single-Surface Glider: Black Leading Edge

Glider #15: Pac Air MK IV (Size Unknown): Broken Leading Edge (Glider had Robert Waring's name attached)

I would question the air-worthiness of most of these gliders, but this is a step toward our auction later this year...
