Winch Launch Fatality
The survivor PIC is the former president you probably flew with in
the Lark. He's expected to recover from a broken back and leg.
Fatality was a guest demo ride, who was interested in taking lessons.
The other fatality in the article had nothing to do with the glider
ops or airport. It was a power plane crossing the area, after engine
trouble he tried unsuccessfully to reach the field. He passed over
several miles of landable fields and a test track to crash 1000's of
feet short.
