Built a glider,...while in prison?? Talk about lax security!
Fascinating read, never heard of it.
Thanks.

It's been talked about here before, but it was a couple-three years ago. Take a wild guess who brought it up.

Anyway, still a great story.

No, I think it was our favorite PoA glider denizen, Tony.
