Default Andes accident

Jose Auil, a pilot flying a Discus BT out of the Vitacura airport in
Santiago, Chile, went missing over the Andes on Sunday afternoon. An
intensive search was carried out for three days and this morning the
wreck was found in the mountains, with the cabin intact. There was a
note saying: "I'm fine. I'm going down river". He has been found
this morning in good shape! Missing Chileans, whether miners or
glider pilots are quite lucky...
