True enough. No fatalities in OLC. ZAP -- RAS56 Nonsense, there are plenty of gliders and pilots destroyed on OLC flights. It does prove difficult to turn in a trace when you are dead. Rick

No fatalities in OLC. ZAP Which proves only that dead people don't send in traces. John Cochrane

Saying "house cats have more appeal" may be demonstrably true. That doesn't make them equivalent to tigers. Racing is two orders of magnitude more intense than OLC. If OLC scratches your itch, good for you. It doesn't even come close to scratching mine. T8
