Default "Glider Pilots Make Safe Landings..."

Yeah, Mike, and, if I remember correctly, your water dump lever broke and
you had to land with a load of water. Made quite a mud hole on the dirt
strip before we could get the wings off... ;=P

I swear that EVERY time I land out, the sky always looks great - from
the ground that is. I have pictures to prove it. Happened just last
Sunday. Looks can be deceiving.


More often than not, I'm also treated to the "mocking thermal" which
dusts me and my ship down about 15 minutes after the land-out.


I resemble that remark
