And both are G102s. Coincidence?

Actually it states one is a Speed Astir 11 - A Grob
G104 - a minor irrelevance considering the circumstances.

Both Grobs I suppose - but then how many people died
driving Fords in the past two weeks?

From Tom Knauff's email this morning:


Witnesses report the 65 year old pilot of a Grob 102 made a normal turn onto the base leg then nosed straight down into the forest.


Initial reports by the FAA inspector indicate there was nothing wrong with the glider.

Yes.

This is the kind of random event pair that tabloid news services (Fox News,
for example) or your typical ill-informed government agency (all of them,
basically) will try to make into some dangerous pattern.

But, statistically speaking, this isn't even a cluster.

My sympathies to the family and friends of the deceased. We had a fatal
accident where I fly a few months ago, and it's a really hard thing to deal
with. Still having repercussions.

Just be careful out there,
Bullwinkle

are corect the one is a Speed Astir 11, which is a
G104).

Talking about clusters, last year, if memory serves, there were two
fatalities involving Scheibe motorgliders, within less than a month of
each other.
