But you fail to realize is that some of us don't read the Odd Report, will never read it and think you could be a lot better person if you didn't shamelessly promote yourself.
You could have just as easily give the name. Then said you reported it in whatever issue.

Where he crashed. A large and very, very easy and forgiving LZ
[/quote]
I can assure you, this lz can be a nightmare; as I got over the field at about 400' I was getting pockets of strong lift and sink, getting spat so low is freaky, and I was trying to work my way up till things calmed down. looking at the windsocks, (about 100 meters apart), they were 180 degrees opposed at 15 kph! I was going fast, to punch through the s___, and was trying hard just to keep the wings level. I was prepared to land on the wheels if I had to, but brought it down into the wind and all was okay. conditions in the sky were considerably smoother.
This was 2 days before MW's flight, initial reports were that lz conditions were good, but I've since heard that it was switching on him as well.
his wing appeared to only have a bent downtube, harnesses can be killers, too
please take care, my friends... |
