A teenaged member of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets was taken to hospital with minor injuries Sunday after his SchweizerSGS 2-33A glider ended up on the roof of a convenience store about a half mile short of the runway at Langley Regional Airport in the Vancouver suburb. It's not clear if the unidentified pilot, who would be at least 16 but no older than 18, intended to land on the roof but it turned out better than many thought it might.He was very lucky, said Capt. Amelie Leduc, a senior officer with the cadet organization in British Columbia.It was very fortunate the cadet was alive and walked out of the aircraft. He has minor injuries, if anything.
