Frank Glenn is a native of Charleston, South Carolina, a Citadel alumn who was first introduced to flight as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. On the day he signed his contract to enter the Army Warrant Officer Program, Frank had never flown in an airplane, let alone piloted one. But the 8 hours Glenn flew each day helped him to gain comfort and confidence, even in combat. Returning home, Frank continued to fly and his passion quickly turned to flying airplanes. He gradually moved up in size and speed, until he purchased a six-seater designed to fly cross country. Capable of reaching thirty thousand feet and 300 miles per hour, with that plane Frank found he lost all perspective of the countryside below.
In 2002, Frank sold his technological marvel and set off on a search for the perfect plane—one he could fly solely for the sake of flying. He found what he was looking for in a perfectly restored, 1947 yellow Piper Cub. Frank and his wife now live in Rockville. He (and his Cub) can be seen whenever the weather is nice, soaring right at cloud level above the low country of South Carolina.
