They should have called it the "Obtuse Goose" due to its size and glide.

Seriously it drags in the glide... But its minimum sink + easy handling supposedly makes it the main ride these days.

If we had truth in advertising laws the WillsWing Falcon should be renamed the "Duck" as seen here an Attack Duck 180.

The Condor would be a "Pigeon"

, A T2 would be a "Frigate Bird"

But I always thought wills wing named gliders after military planes.
The Falcon

The Eagle

The area 51 "Sport Model" saucer

The U2

And The T2 F/A-37 Talon Carrier based stealth
