Your First Land Out
2/17/74, Homedale, Idaho, towed to1700’, climbed to 4300’ and turned to the heading for my turn-point, some 15 miles away. I had 27.0 hours in my recently licensed BJ-1B Duster and a total time in sailplanes of 43 hours................didn’t have a clue what I was doing! Following a county road as I got lower and lower and wondered why these green fields weren’t working? Kept passing up one field after another, finally at about 300 feet, I turned left 90 degrees and landed in low crops............minimal damage to my wheel fairing.
