Default Penn State Soaring Club Glider ***STOLEN***

ATTENTION NORTHEAST SOARING PILOTS:

State Troopers in Pennsylvania and the surrounding States have been
notified of the missing glider and are actively trying to spot the
glider trailer on interstate highways. If you are going to trailer your
glider in the upcoming days...please make sure your trailer is properly
registered and you have the paperwork with you.

Yesterday Karl Striedieck landed out in his Duo Discus and while
trailering the Duo back to Eagle Field (in its rather large cobra
trailer that resembles the description of the Penn State Trailer) he
was pulled over by a local police officer for questioning.
Unfortunately for Karl, he did not have the trailer registration with
him and after a frustrating land-out situation he did not respond real
well to the interogation. Apparently he spent 10-15 minutes handcuffed
in the back of the troopers car while the liscence plates were run and
things got cleared up.

Again, if you are going to tow your trailer, please make sure the
paperwork is with you to avoid this happening again.
