Wikipedia:Peter Masak
A lot of opinions have been offered whether this was a stupid mistake,
or a tragic freak accident that could have happened to anyone. Thanks to previous posts, we can now decide for ourselves. Copy 40°29.94'N 78°08.49'W . paste into maps.google.com, click "satellite". A big green arrow will point to the location of the crash, and the hill Peter was ridge-soaring at the time. The wind was quite strong and from the SW -- basically straight down the main ridge at Mifflin, which did not work. I will always remember Peter as a great guy and a great pilot, and I'll remember the day of his accident with sadness. John Cochrane BB
