In the US, I'm not aware of any ACTUAL midair collisions between a
glider and non-glider that are more than 4 miles from an airport.


About 15 years ago near Ephrata, Washington, there was a glider/airplane
collision about 10 miles from the airport. Everyone was killed. I don't
remember the details, or even if they were determined with any confidence.


Can't find this one in fatals/glider/state of washington on NTSB. Hmmm...
Looked for 1980 to 1999...


I seem to recall one near Truckee 5-10 years ago, but don't remember how
far it was from the airport.


3/31/1998, Grob 102 vs. Aero Commander 690, vicinity of the airport,
all uninjured
