Does anybody know the name, type and location of the first fiberglass air plane to fly?

Would it have been the Windecker Eagle, Paul?  I believe that my have been the first composite aircraft that was FAA Certified.

What are they going to do with the prototype sitting on the south ramp near Brian's hangar?

If you mean the 2 static birds, 1 is for Static load testing and a 2nd is for long term fatigue testing... Airplane 1 just flew and AP #2 should fly before the EOY.  I think Boeing wrote off 3 flight test aircraft ($3 Bil) and will keep them instead of refurbishing them for sale.  Oh, AP #1 landed safely at Boeing Field a few min ago... Landed early due to bad weather in the test area.
