1-26 Association Roll of Honor
Many Aspire - Few Succeed
|
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. |
