Hi all,



I'm looking for any information I can find about a sailplane pilot

named (I think) Hutch Hutchins. Last I heard, he flew in Southern

California, and he once owned a Ventus. Is he still around? Where did

he fly? I'm trying to track down a piece of soaring lore that he was

allegedly involved in. Anything you can tell me would be helpful.



Thanks, Bob K.

Hutch was seen thermalling soooo low that he was casting a shadow about 5PM, it is believed that he thermalled right into the ground! Nobody knows, not even Hutch who doesn't remember anything after breakfast due to a severe case of dehydration. The ship was bought for salvage and Hutch wasn't involved with the Amecican Spirit projrct.
