I have S/N 15152 (non-B). I fly in New Jersey, USA. The 15 is my first glider and even though its a little old I think its one of the best values out there. They are currently selling for about $14,000 US.
In spring and fall I keep it at "The Ridge" in Pennsylvania, one of the best places in North America for ridge/wave/thermal soaring. Flights of 1000K are almost commonplace when the wind is blowing the right way. The best I've done is an official 300K but I did twice in the same flight. The log books show that a previous owner did his 500K more than 30 years ago from the same airport. My goal for this spring is to repeat the task.
