I believe the accident Eric is referring to occurred in 1978 between a
Piper PA-32R (Lance or Saratoga, I forget which) and my partner flying
our LS1-f. 5 people were killed, no surviviors.

Amazing how long ago this accident happened.



Hmmm...the accident reports don't indicate if this was very near a
gliderport or near Moses Lake (the Piper's departure point).

I'd be interested in more details, if they are available. I suppose
the altitude of the collision is unknown...


Carl N. can tell you more accurately, but I recall it was about 10 miles
NW of Ephrata airport, where the glider launched from, and probably in
the 5000-7000 msl range.
