Also, I apologize about the tone of my earlier post. I would just like to stress that reporters aren't necessarily out to get us. They are just in a tough business that gives them little control over how their stories appear and precious little time to do research. If this guy got the time and place right, spelled the names right, and got the aircraft ID in the ballpark, then he is doing better than the NTSB sometimes does for glider accidents and incidents. Thanks, Bob K.


That's OK, Bob. And when you read the article carefully, the most humorous part is the National Transportation Safety Boar. Yes, we have one of those. They bring him to the site of an accident. He roots around, kicks up a lot of dirt, snorts a lot, and in general messes things up. Tends to eat the evidence, too. Or, is that the National Transportation Safety Goat? I get them confused all the time.
