Default Hod Taylor

Minden experienced 100 knot winds during a storm, next morning found 2 gliders had pulled loose from there tie-downs, but the carnage didn't stop there. The loose ships flew/slid into other sailplanes. Hod Taylor's ASW-15 being one of them! Hod filed a claim against the owner of the offending ships liability insurance, claiming the owner had been negligent in not securing his ship properly. Hod told me, "watch this, I'm going to turn my old 15 into a 20". The court proceedings were short and sweet, Hot stated his position, the Insurance guy stated it was an act of God. The Judge said it was an act of God, cort adjourned!
So much for Hod's upgrade to an ASW-20.
