Peterson MAP-3 Medena
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.
Design and development
Peterson completed the Medena prototype and flew it in 1966. The designation indicates the designer's initials.
The aircraft is of mixed construction, with an all-metal structure and a fiberglass cockpit section. The 51 ft (15.5 m) span wings employ a NACA 64(3)-618 airfoil and mount both spoilers and half-span flaps. The flaps can be raised 5° for cruise flight and deployed to 60° for glidepath control on landing. The landing gear is a retractable monowheel.
Only one Medena was constructed.
Operational history
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"
Kerber
Kerber (Serbian Cyrillic: Кербер; trans. Cerberus) is a Serbian and former Yugoslav hard rock band from Niš.
Band history
1980s
The original members of Kerber were Goran Šepa "Gale" (vocals), Tomislav Nikolić (guitar), Branislav "Bane" Božinović (keyboard), Zoran Stamenković (drums) and Zoran Madić (bass guitar). In 1981, formerly known as Top (trans. Cannon), the band changed its name to Kerber. In November 1981, Kerber had their first official concert in Muzički klub in Niš. During 1982 the band had numerous concerts in Niš and Serbia, while working on the material for their first album. In early spring of 1982, Madić left the band due to his army obligations. He was replaced by former Mama Rock and Plamteće Nebo member Zoran "Sosa" Žikić who had an attractive on-stage performance: he played an axe-shaped guitar and performed fire breathing. In May 1983, Kerber won the first place at Omladinski Festival in Subotica with the song "Mezimac" ("Minion").
