Maybe he was flying a "Super Duper Decathlon"?
Plus, the three fatalities in '99 were utterly unrelated to the winds in
the area. One was due to a rigging error (very sad), and the Nimbus 4DM
was over stressed after a spin recovery.
Crappy journalism. The writer probably does the science reporting for
his paper too :-p


If no one calls him on his inaccurate/misleading reporting, he'll never
take more care to get his facts straight.
