For a second there I got all excited thinking you caught a glimpse of an Icon A5 prototype being transported... but then I realized it was just a lousy glider :D

That Blanik glider has a very sophisticated (four instruments and one switch) instrument panel.

I like how the pants match the "T" handle in the center of the complicated panel :)

Just like every aircraft hanger I have ever been in. Well almost.

Sorry. Maybe my wife made me wear that color knowing how the interior decorator did the panel. She was in the back seat that day and later soloed in sailplanes without ever flying a powered aircraft. Much unlike our son who soloed in a TriPacer. Don't you love those 1970s glasses ?

Pretty darn sweet! And yes I agree with Mr. Goodman, what a garage!

Flaps, spoiler/dive brakes, retractable gear, ...everything the aspiring MiG pilot needed to start the flight training process.
