Foxtrot Zulu
« on: 03 December 2013, 17:15 »
Just curious if anyone knows what ever became of ASW-15 Foxtrot Zulu (N15FZ). It was crashed in Packwood Washington in 1975. My dad was a glider pilot and Boeing model maker. He bought it as salvage from the insurance company and hiked in to package and heli lift it out. The nose was crushed and the tail broken off. He got the fuse all repaired but never found any wings. At least one of them was completely destroyed. He wound up selling it to somebody who had found some wings. In the southern US if I recall.

As I said, I'm just curious if it ever got aloft again. I was there as a kid during the (successful) search and rescue for the pilot and the sailplane was a staple of our garage for many years.
