I understand that. And that was pretty much the basis of my question.
The glider had right of way. Yet, "found the glider pilot to be at
fault". To me, that says they expected a glider to get the heck out of
the way of a highspeed aircraft. Thusly, my paraphrased statement of,
"I'm crazy because I don't understand how they could expect that to happen."


The Navy compensated the glider pilot for damages. But fortune was
smiling on him. He could have just as easily ended up splattered
across four acres of golf course as occurred in another military/civil
'mishap' November 16, 2000 in Florida.
