General Notes
Note
The Dagling primary glider, registered as CF-ZAK, was built by the Lethbridge soaring community in 1947. It passed through the hands of the Medicine Hat Gliding Club, the Red Deer Gliding Club, the Edmonton Soaring Club, and the Calgary Air Cadets Squadron, actually doing some flying at each stop. It went into storage for most of the 1960s, before passing to the Canadian Museum of Flight in 1977. It was restored to display condition in 1983. Since display at Expo 86 in Vancouver, it has been in storage, currently at Pitt Meadows Airport.
