JJ- That makes 4 fatal glider accidents in the US alone in 4 weeks. Is there somewhere where one can identify these accidents and their potential causes? *I follow gliding quite closely and I would presume that unless the accident was at a national meet such as O'C's or local to you, it would not get much national coverage. *Please advise if you can as the location and nature of the other three accidents within the last four weeks. Walt -- Walt Connelly Tom Knauff did an article on the subject that was published in the last couple months in Soaring magazine which looked back about 10 years on accident causes. Worth reading.
