The L-23 Super Blanik is a two-seat instruction glider (a single-seat version is also available) which due to its robustness and simplicity, is especially appropriate for the initiation of sailing flight, primarily concerned with the flight circuits from the moment it is released by the towing plane up till the landing. It has full equipment and instruments in both cockpits. The L-23 Super Blanik is flown by the Aerial Activities Department of the Students Corps at the Air Force Academy.
