Scary story about landing on a Lake Tahoe golf course
Steve Koerner wrote on 7/29/2020 11:59 AM:
Some of the posts here about water landing could give the impression that it's not so bad. Sometimes it isn't. Readers should bear in mind that those who drown while so doing are not posting their story in counterpoint. I have just one friend who's ever attempted a water landing with his glider. He won't be posting. I've heard of 5 or 6 water landings, and they all went well - the pilot survived without injury. This is the first one I've heard of that didn't.
