Wonderful museum with a nice collection of gliders -- including several self-launching motor gliders (SLMGs), homemade gliders and gliders built from kits, and a NASA glider from the APEX project that sadly never flew (due the project's cancellation). There's even a replica of the 1902 Wright glider.
