Hello everyone,
My name is Doug Remoundos and I am a new member to the 1-26 Association.
I started flying in gliders at 14 years of age, many decades ago on a Schweizer 2-22. My first single seat sailplane was a 1-26, which I have many fond memories flying.

Seems we are living a parallel life. I’ve just recently acquired a 1-26E bringing it back to life and relocating it to Minnesota. “Marg” has her own FB page here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575298080670

Hello, I’m the new owner of 466. I live in Ft Stockton (way west Tx). 466 is in reasonable good shape, last annual was in 2009. Can anyone point me to an ANP that knows 1-26s and could give me an in depth annual and inspection? I call Robert Mudd but he is retired. I really would like to get 466 back in the air. Thks Dale Briscoe
