Two landouts on the same day. Contest task, landed out (at a
gliderport) while on course, got a tow and rejoined the gaggle on the return leg, then landed out again (along with just about everybody else!) when a cloud deck moved in and shut off all lift. Second landout was in a wheat field, requiring many of the classical landout "events": hike out to find a farmer, challenge of meeting up with new crew (pre-cell days), midnight derig and carry-out of glider from middle of field, etc... Bags of fun! |
