Best way to hoist an over-sized pilot out of the cockpit? (post landing) by son_of_flubber
So today I encountered a novel situation at the airfield. The diminutive line boy and I were called upon to hoist an over-sized pilot with a "bad knee" out of his glider (after landing.) Enthusiastic to help with all aspects of "ground handling", I jumped right in, and I ended up straining my...
