15 Meter Nationals
Report for 23 May
(report by John Good)

This is a hard report to write. A huge number of people were
involved
in an enormous search and rescue effort that began at 6:30pm yesterday,
and
continued without interruption until well after noon today. But we were
not
able to produce the result we so earnestly sought. Peter Masak crashed in
a
heavily wooded area on the east side of Tussey Mountain, a few miles south
of the village of Alexandria at about 4:30 yesterday. Rescuers finally
reached him at around 10:00am today. The crash was not survivable - his
glider was destroyed and he was killed on impact.

Terribly saddened by these news, I share the pain.

Is it possible to tell us what happened ? (Out landing, collision,
incapacitation, thunderstorm)
