Default Glider accident in France claims two


A number of recent fatalities seem to involve some sort of
competition. Here's another one.

This glider crash in France was reported in the Wall Street Journal
because one of the pilots was the head of a large hedge fund. He was
49 and had been flying gliders since he was 16.

The other pilot was the president of a local glider club.
