details on ridge soaring crashes yesterday (Sunday)?

[Frank[_12_]]

John Lubon (JL) was telling me that there was a glider that crashed on
the main ridge near Altoona. II heard that the pilot was carrying a
SPOT device, and may have activated the 911 function. Anyone have any
additional information on this?

TIA,

TA

internet problems on our end.

I can't get your link above to work Tom, but my link in my favorites
still gets me to your site. Maybe this one will work here?

No, the trailing slash is irrelevant.

As posted here before. For people reading on Google groups with its
broken redirect you have to include the http:// prefix.

http://www.eglider.com will work when read on Google Groups

www.eglider.com will not work when read on Google Groups

But then its an IQ test, you can always just type such a short URL
into the browser address bar.
