Than I say B727

I do not consider the dynasoar as a true glider, since she is powered.
You have to look deeper in the past.

It could be, or it could not. You have to find it by yourself.

No, the Zepplin isn't a glider. I'm looking for a monstruosity, a lot bigger than the Waco. V-bird was right about the WWII.

Then the German Ju 322 'Mammut' was bigger I think, but it was a prototype.
