Magnetic attraction
Ian writes:
In such places it is obviously sensible to keep landing places in mind, but I still think it's a mistake to fly directly over them. There is a strange magnetic attraction at work ... The magnetic attraction is made stronger by the visible presence of another glider (from the same contest) already landed at the (non-glider) airport. I found this to be true at the 1-26 meet in Tennessee. Then again, the ground in general exerts a strong magnetic attraction on a 1-26. Jim Beckman
