Very sad to report a mid-air at Crazy Creek Soaring, just after 11
Saturday morning. According to news reports, a Pawnee and glider
collided over the airport. Two fatalities. No names released yet. News
said one pilot was very experienced and lived with his family at
Middletown, the other is from the Bay Area also experienced and is
widely known for his videos and pictures on the internet . . . agian,
this info has not been confirmed, I got if from Bay Area channel 5
news on-line.

I'm afraid I know them both and have lost two friends.

Any additional info appreciated.

Only additional info I could find as of midnightish:
http://www.ktvu.com/news/21747498/detail.html which says the glider
was reg out of Cotati and the pilot was married. I only found one W-27
reg in Cotati:

It is premature to jump to conclusions though, as we don't know if
that was actually his glider nor if he or someone else was flying it.
Very sad news any the case.
