A plan for landout seems missing?

Best suggestion so far: Crew tows pilot's trailer with crew's car. Pilot rides back in glider, in trailer :-).

Seriously... a mask, gloves, wipes would do it for me (as in: I would drive your car).

We're not flying because of this https://www.healthvermont.gov/sites/...ily-Update.pdf

The cumulative total is -6- Covid-19 cases in the county our airport is located in (20.7 per 100K population). And similar low numbers in surrounding counties. Some of our membership lives in areas with higher numbers. In my community (~5000), there has been one married couple tested positive (travel related), that's it.

VT Governor's house arrest order aside, the chief risk identified by our board was "looking like jerks" by recreating "during the emergency".

T8: Love your seeming rationale: "Because the proscription worked it is not needed."

Simple, effective stuff worked for those of us that don't have to travel 60 floors to the street in an elevator. Revised social norms, cutting out airline travel, simple hygienic precautions etc. There is nothing hard to understand here.

I maintain that we can carry these sensible precautions to the gliderport and tow single place gliders, safely. If that makes me a nutjob, so be it.

We're not proposing to violate the VT governor's order. I was unsuccessful in persuading the club to temporarily relocate to a nearby NH airport where we could operate within the the current guidelines in NH. I was told by one board member that my proposal was "sort of immoral".
