2022-04-26-Slingsby-T21-KAPA-KBDU: Wings Over the Rockies/Exploration of Flight (WOTR/EoF) Air and Space Museum at the Centennial Airport (KAPA), south Denver hosted a Glider Exhibition Saturday, April 23, with the featured aircraft being a British Slingsby T-21B fully restored and flyable. After the exhibition the Slingsby T-21B was transported to the Boulder Airport (KBDU) and I got to take pictures and actually fly it on Tuesday, 04/26/22!!! I am a current Glider Pilot/CFI-Glider and the owner graciously allowed me to do the entire flight, takeoff to landing, stall series and soaring for .5 hour. WOW! 04/26/22
