Back in the sixties, during a contest at Grand Prairie, TX, I was in the
reurn part of an O&R task -- approaching Fort Worth. Ahead, crossing my
path and well below was a B-36 taking off with all ten engines working
mightely. About two minutes later, wake turbulence threw my Schweizer
1-23 almost inverted. Luckily, after recovery enough height remained to
enable a "good finish".

BTW, the 1-23 and I earned a Gold C and two diamonds in ten days at
Grand Prairie --EVERYTHING IS BIG IN TEXAS, eh?
