I'm aware of two mid-airs in the Minden / Truckee / Tahoe area in the past
15 or so years. Both where power vs. glider. Fortunately, and rather
amazingly, neither involved fatalities. There was another further south on
the Sierra that involved a glider and jet fighter - - again both survived. I
have no statistics, but in this neck-of-the-woods, it would seem the threat
of a glider mid-air is mostly between us and the guys with engines.

There was also a glider to glider midair years ago over Bridgeport with
one fatality.
