I know he has to be home by July 4th, but there was a soaring contest in Ephrata Washington, and seeing how Wild Bill has always wanted to do this, The Tribe of 5 agreed to teach him to fly the Nimbus 3.

And Willy wasn't happy with the instrument panel, so he did a general tear-down and re-build prior to flight.

Well here's Willy bringing it in on a wing and a prayer!
He's a steely eyed glider pilot now!!!!!
