From Uvalde LiveATC: 15 meter cancelled dut to mid-air. Open and 18


meter class still underway and not cancelled.


Pilots are safe.


"Some of the other 15m pilots were involved in rescue/communications
overwatch/escort for the damaged glider and in the interests of
fairness the task for 15m has been cancelled for the day. We have
recalled Nick through a relay through the Belgian team. Crew is on
the way to the airport."

"One pilot parichuted, the other made it back to Uvalde."
