| Earning all three Diamonds in a 1-26 requires extraordinary dedication and superior pilot skills. Several pilots who have earned FAI Diamond Badge Legs in other gliders are known to be re-flying them in the 1-26 to become members of this elite corps. We wish them, and all others who are working toward this difficult goal, the greatest success and look forward to adding them to the very special Roll of Honor. |
