Lake Elsinore, 1-26 crash landing video

[David Reitter]

The video documents the outlanding mishap of a club 1-26 near Lake Elsinore. It was discussed during a safety briefing at that club, and I think it is mentioned in the current Soaring Magazine. Worth watching:

Our lives have been greatly enriched by the proliferation of miniature video cameras that enable us to watch ourselves screw up! Although, I can't help wondering from this clip if the pilot chose the best place to land - I thought I glimpsed a landable field.

Thanks for posting - very useful.

Glad you walked away from it. We can all learn from the mistakes of others as well as from our own. Your "no excuses" attitude speaks volumes about you. Keep flying.
