Default Iowa XC at end of October

Folks, how many glider pilots will choose to land out
just for the experience rather than hang around the airport hoping for
better conditions or the convienience of an airport? Some might think
him nuts for doing so but he inspired local club pilots today and
promoted the sport to the general public too.


Ive told you and others many times, i often feel safer landing in a
nice field or pasture than on a runway at an airport.
