Cirrus No. 69, C-GORT
Canadian Contest No. 2L
(Originally N11UF)

Currently Owned by: Sara Fowlow and Joanne Bennett

STATUS: In Service

LOCATION: Cu Nim Gliding Club, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Cirrus NO. 69 was imported, as N11UF, into the United States by Lee Lauderbach, who, among other things, did some flying for Arnold Palmer.  (It MAY have been owned by current SSA Director At Large and former SSA President Brian Utley, but the FAA has been unable to provide any records on this ship.)

It was brouight to Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1980 where it experienced several owners, a few cosmetic dings, and many diamond flights.  Currently, as C-GORT, it is owned by Sara Fowlow and Joanne Bennett of the Cu Nim Gliding Club in Calgary. 

There are 1567 hours on the airframe as of the fall of 2000, and except for control cable refit it is largely original.  It has a blue tinted canopy.
