L-106 Alcor Lamson

[Karl Dwight Nelson]

I am researching a plane in the Seattle Museum of Flight called
the L-106 Alcor Lamson. This sailplane was built in 1973 by Robert T.
Lamson, and carries FAA registration number N924LR. It was apparently
used for high altitude research. If anyone has any information, or can
point me in the right direction, please contact me.

staying in
Canada.

The Alcor was built by Bob Lamson. He is a member of the Seattle Glider
Council and resides on Mercer Island Wa.

I recall baking pieces in his home kitchen oven...after his wife had
gone out.

The Alcor is one of his favorite subjects, I'm sure he'll be able to
tell you everything you need.

Pass on my greetings,

According to Soaring Magazine 1997 Sailplane Directory, the Alcor now
belongs to the Museum Flight Foundation in Seattle, WA.

Lamson and the five years he spent in the development of that glider.Bob
Lamson of Mercer Island Washington built his pressurized sailplane and
named it after the original Allen Lockheed Corp. (Alcor). You may find a
