In general, how does a glider start a forest fire unless gas is onboard?


Sad either way with a wrecked aircraft.

Yep, the west is having a bad forestfire season......


Witnesses say the initial fire began prior to the plane breaking into 2 pieces, so it brought fire with it to the side of Slide Mountain. One of the people on board was my brother-in-law. Pray for peace within the remaining families. Way too Soon.
