Searching for aircraft type Glider. However in the results I've only
found one mid-air - between a DG500 and a ASW20 on 29 July 2003.

I was under the impression that there had been a series of fatal
glider-to-glider collisions in Switzerland. I might be reading the
website incorrectly or looking in the wrong place.

Can a resident, or perhaps a native speaker of an appropriate
language, tell me if there were more serious mid-airs, and provide a
source of information? Specifically what I am looking for is the
number of serious glider-to-glider collisions in Switzerland for each
of the last ten years.

I recently moved to the US from Switzerland, and I can tell you that
in the past 10 years there have not been too many mid-air colliosions
with gliders. Off hand, I'm familiar with at leat 2 collisions. One
involved Swiss pilots and the other involved a Swiss pilot and a
German pilot who was visiting. Why are these statistics important for
Switzerland?
