Default See and avoid...

An eye opener:

We are mentioned there as well:
"Most recently, a Hawker 800XP descending into Reno collided with a
Schleicher ASW-27 sailplane near Minden, Nev., a popular soaring
location. Somewhat miraculously the glider pilot managed to parachute
to safety and the crew of the damaged Hawker was able to execute a
single-engine, gear-up emergency landing at the nearby Carson City
Airport. Everybody walked away."
