Default Deadly week

It appears the last weekend was pretty deadly for gliding in the
west. *We had a gas-powered Tarus go in north of Durango, killing its
pilot, and reading other reports, there was reported a 2-32 somewhere
else in Colorado involved in a fatal during a check ride, and a guy
reported to be flying Stridek's old ASW-20 reported to have gone down
out of Cal City "on the switchbacks". * All this in the same week as
getting the recent SOARING, with its safety articles talking about too
many folks dying in glider accidents.

2-32 crash was in Montana
