Can anyone help me?

Given my great respect for Mighty Gorilla, I figured I'd give it a
shot. *The NTSB database does not have a direct way of identifying
midair collisions, so I took the indirect approach of writing a
program to find sets of incidents with matching dates and locations,
which yielded roughly 2500 records. *I tossed out those prior to 1982,
as the records get a bit wonky. *Aircraft category is often omitted or
incorrect, so the only option was to look through the remaining ~1200
records for glider-sounding names. *I may have missed a few, but I
pretty much found all of ones I remember. *I found 15 collisions
glider with glider, 5 glider with tow plane, and 6 glider with other
airplanes, resulting in 22 fatalities. *First column is NTSB accident
number for one of the aircraft involved (not necessarily a glider):

Wrong version of the list, try again:
