Histoire résumée | The Peterson MAP-3 Medena is an American mid-wing, single-seat, FAI Open Class glider that was designed and constructed by Max A. Peterson, first flying in 1966.
The prototype's wings and tail were damaged in a wind storm in 1967 and the aircraft was rebuilt to incorporate modifications to the tail and aft fuselage. Peterson sold the Medana to Joe Gray in 1971. Ownership transferred to Sam Phillips in May 1975. Ownership transferred to Donald Young/Oren Irich in May 1978. In August 2011 the aircraft was still on the US Federal Aviation Administration registry, although the agency listed its status as "in question". |
