Default What are the forces on a tied down glider?

How interested you were in Friday?

Others would say why worry - put it in the box!



"Glider trailers parked on the field were crushed from being tossed
about like dice."

(to be fair "The hangar right across the alleyway had it's roof and
walls blown off.")

Now, can someone explain why I can remember (and find) something I read
nearly 3 years ago, but I can't remember what I was doing on Friday when
I get back to work on Monday?
