Doris Grove is an American world record breaking glider pilot, flight instructor, and a member of the U.S. Soaring Hall of Fame. She was an early pioneer of ridge soaring in the Ridge-and-valley Appalachians in the 1970s, ultimately setting three world records flying gliders there, and becoming the first woman to earn the FAI 1000 km Diploma. She was also a stunt co-pilot in the 1999 film ''The Thomas Crown Affair''. Ms. Grove currently lives near State College, Pennsylvania with her husband Thomas Knauff, another hall of fame glider pilot. They own and operate the Ridge Soaring Gliderport in Julian, Pennsylvania, which they founded in 1975. ==World Glider Records== *Single-place glider, Feminine * *Out-and-return distance: 731.27 km, 7 April 1979, Ridge Soaring Gliderport, Julian, Pennsylvania, Schleicher ASW 19 * *Out-and-return distance: 1000.86 km, 11 Mar 1980, Ridge Soaring Gliderport, Julian, Pennsylvania, Schleicher ASW 19 * *Out-and-return distance: 1127.68 km, 28 September 1981, Piper Memorial Airport, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, Schempp-Hirth Nimbus 2 ::''Source: Fédération Aéronautique Internationale() 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doris Grove」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
