This is so unusual it deserves mention. Newsies wrote up a couple of
safe off field landings... and got it right!

Jacob did a nice job in 430, I nearly landed in the field east of Italy with 215(the other glider mentioned) although while I was climbing over him at .8 knots I didn't notice any police cars. There were 3 with Jacob when I went overhead.

Yeah, an' not only do they got more accurate an enterainin' reporters down there, but in that same 'lectronic paper, I done noticed you can get a whole house, with 3 bedrooms and new paint inside and out for only $65,000 down there. Also if'n you is gettin' close to cashin' in yer chips, you can get 2 cemetery plots for only $600 a piece. Not bad compared to Cali., it gots me thinkin'.

Look at that Sky! It's amazing that we can land out on a day like
that.

I swear that EVERY time I land out, the sky always looks great - from
the ground that is. I have pictures to prove it. Happened just last
Sunday. Looks can be deceiving.

More often than not, I'm also treated to the "mocking thermal" which
dusts me and my ship down about 15 minutes after the land-out.

Yeah, Mike, and, if I remember correctly, your water dump lever broke and
you had to land with a load of water. Made quite a mud hole on the dirt
strip before we could get the wings off... ;=P
