Default You can now try Ramy’s scary outlanding on Lake Tahoe golf course on Condor

Well, thanks, I am honored, although not sure I deserve this honor
I shouldn’t have put myself in this situation to start with...
I should add that walking and checking this golf course few years ago and concluding I can probably land there in emergency made it less challenging and scary than it would be otherwise.
You can see photos of the final stopping place in the following link. The nose pointing to the same direction of landing after a full 360 degrees ground loop after hitting small bush with rocks with the right wing tip.

My glider is flying again after Danny at Williams repaired it in less than 3 weeks.


Sometimes, I wish my 18M glider was a 15M glider, so it would fit onto more
runways and into more landing areas. And, if I ever had to do a field retrieve,
I'd probably wish it were a 13.5M glider :^)
