Wreckage has been located from the air by helicopter. Downed pilot is injured but called 911 immediately after the crash and later talked to the rescue helicopter pilot by radio. EMT crew has the coordinates and is on the way. Keep your fingers crossed... |

A search of the FAA database will yield the type of glider and a glance at the score sheet will tell you the rest... |

He is in the hospital with a cervical compression injury. Treatment not yet determined. He is in pain but otherwise fine. Rescue involved 2 helicopters which must be a record. This will be an interesting rescue story to be told by folks that were there. UH |

Earlier report was inaccurate despite triple-check.
Pilot is now just at hospital, injuries appear not life threatening. Fingers crossed... |

Fingers crossed... Five pilots with no flight logs on the scoresheet today - hoping for no serious injuries. |
