Introduction

When I was young, I remember standing in the checkout line with my Dad on one of our trips to the hardware store.  I remember seeing a display box of Power Prop Flying Gliders for sale and asking my Dad if I could have one.  I think they cost $1.00 each and my Dad bought me one.  Over time I collected the entire set of 12 and added many doubles to my collection.  I spent many hours playing with these gliders. After a while I lost interest in the gliders and moved on to other interests but the box of gliders remained in my closet.  Fast forward almost twenty years, and my brother in law randomly buys 2 styrofoam gliders at a convenience store and gives them to me.  All these fond memories came flooding back as I tossed the gliders around.  Just for kicks I went on Ebay and ordered a few more just for fun.  Fast forward to current day, and I have a massive collection of all kinds of gliders from different parts of the world.  In my free time I am planning on posting pictures of my gliders to this blog.  I hope you enjoy browsing the pictures.
