I wish I had filmed it... hard to believe otherwise. I witnessed, with
several others, the final moments of a commercial ride at an east coast gliderport. The commercial pilot turned very short base to final and failed to level out completely before the right wingtip touch the ground. The glider rotated 180 degrees in the air, the landed (pretty smoothly) backwards. It tracked straight for several wingspans, then touched a wingtip and ground looped 180, once again facing its direction of travel. The passenger got out and exclaimed it was the coolest flight he'd ever taken. |
