Default Seminole Lake Accident

Seminole Lake Gliderport had another accident. From what the pictures look like, the left wing of their Blanik L-23 was demolished from mid wing where it bent the leading edge all the way back to the spar.

Not sure what to make of this, if it will be covered up, or will there be an NTSB report. Probably more money wired from the offshore accounts will keep the operation afloat while they are down a glider.

I sure hope everyone is ok from the accident. Anyone have details of the specifics?


Here's the report from "Kathryn's report":
