The landout was a complete non-event in a beautiful field. Only reason it was written up was because the troopers showed up and insisted on getting a hold of the FAA, which promptly told them it was the non-event that it was.


Well, we don't expect much knowledge about gliding from the State Police. But I would have expected the editors of Gliding International to at least read over what they are printing and recognize that a perfectly executed landout was not an "accident". And, notice the year "2000" in the title. Should have been "2020". That was also their error on the same page . . .
They are just not editing or even reading their own product, it seems.
