Glider: Schweizer  SGS 1-26A  Tail #: N3822A

Description: The Schweizer SGS 1-26 is a United States One-Design, single-seat, mid-wing glider built by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, New York. The SGS 1-26 enjoyed a very long production run from its first flight in 1954 until 1979, when production was ended. The 1-26 is the most numerous sailplane found in the US. Due to its light weight, it climbs well, stalls benignly, will land in an incredibly short distance (due to the nose skid), and is an excellent glider for transitioning after solo and first cross country attempts. This glider was rebuilt by Chuck Zabinski and Jake Smith.
