Sad news, Lake County glider crash, LAK-17B FES Mini
Friday,07-Aug-2020
Matt Herron was piloting LAK-17B FES Mini Glider, which took off from Lampson Field near Lakeport at about 2 p.m. en route to Mendocino County, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said. That's all I found. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/...d-15470885.php AV

Sad Loss. I only met Matt at the recent SSA Convention. I wasn't aware of any of his background until yesterday, besides the fact that he was a fellow glider pilot. RIP

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/11/u...ion=Obituaries So sad to loose Matt. Any word yet on what exactly happened? From what I've been able to piece together, it appears the crash happened on take-off or shortly after that, as it seems it was quite close to the airport.

T8 My condolences to the family and friends! I always enjoyed reading his contributions. The SSA 'Where to fly' site does not show a soaring operation at this site. How did he get airborne? Is there a local tow plane/pilot available? Uli 'AS'
