ACW418
Sorry if I sounded super critical of the Viking. It's done sterling work for the VGS. I just personally felt that the Vanguard (K21) was better at the task (having operated both on a VGS) of teaching cadets.
I'd have to say the proof of the pudding is in the eating. The K21 is still in production in largely its original form - the 103 (having gone through several iterations) is not.
Personally I always felt that the K13 was the glider the ATC should have brought - but don't get me started on that !!
And I think the Canadian Air Cadets are still using their original Schweitzer 2-33's from the 1960's !!
I just wish the fiasco could be sorted and everyone back to work.
Regards
