Default We have one glider pilot less

I'm sorry to say that another Estonian glider pilot passed away on April
16-th after spinning to earth on final because making a downwind turn at
100ft while trying to eliminate excess heght. Glider involved was Cobra-15
(rented from our club).

It particularly hurts us because there's so few of us and because it was
more than ten years of accident free flying until 2004, when first glider
crashed in independent Estonia. Now again. Wery hard to tell that.

RIP Ville Ilus
