  The pilot that was fatally injured was reportedly a CFIG. *The pilot 
  that was seriously injured was a glider DPE. *It's been reported that 
  it was gusty. *The commercial operation was in its first year of 
  operation from this airfield, which I'm told is tight and tree-lined. 
  No other info. 
  
 Sorry, replied to the wrong post.  My comments are in response to the 
 Montana accident of last Friday.

Low altitude maneuvers in gusty conditions in a 2-32. Gives me chills to  
think of it.  2-32's are fun to fly but they are unforgiving b-stards if  
you get low and slow. 
 
Both the accidents being discussed involved gliders with reputations for  
spinning in.
