Another loss to the soaring community. Bummer. Our hearts go out to
the family. More info probably tomorrow from someone in the Prescott
area.


Pilot was Bob Bowman, just got his private at Sundance in Moriarty a
couple of months ago, Spun the club Cirrus on winch tow @ 800-1200 feet.
Don't know about med issues but he was in pretty good shape at 72.


Was it a cable break?
