This guys first call says he is 35 miles and 12 minutes out. I haven't heard of a motorglider which can do that speed whether day or night. It isn't a motorglider.


There is so much wrong with this it is embarrassing. It is a PR fail for the FAA who should realize these reports need enough clear information to be credible, this one just comes off as bull****. Turning the opportunity for positive PR and education into making the FAA look silly.
