Please give us the details. I heard there was a missing glider in
Lancaster, Ca. USA, is this what you are referring to?

I don't want to register on their web site and get even more junk mail.

The Great Western site has very little detail, can anyone post all the
details here please.

Are you sure you want all those here? Don't really want to be that
ghoulish. Actually, many people do manage to get positive gliding and
soaring articles in their regional papers.

If you search for glider or sailplane on news.google.com, you find more
than you need.

Even so, recently I wanted to understand more about a recent accident
in the southeast. Two people in a glider were mentioned, but it was
unclear from the media post if this was a sailplane, ultralight, or
hang glider. The media narrative was rather intense related to the
condition of the pilot and passenger. Going to the FAA prelim data,
not only did I find that G-103, but also the DG-300 crash landing, and
a PW-5(?) prelim incident which doesn't appear in the NTSB search, so
it might have been a non-event. For some reason the Grob incident
requires a request through NTSB public docket channels. There's no
online narrative, yet.

I believe there is something to be learned from each incident, so
understanding what led up to the event and what the missed options were
can be helpful. www.soaringsafety.org lists NTSB incidents, but only 2
of 31 so far this year.

Fly safely, and land safely avoiding berms, trees, fences, wires and
walls and whatever else is out there.
