Glider Mayday...Texas Panhandle...4/28/13
Traveling home today on my regular airline run from Tokyo, as we passed the eastern Texas panhandle, we heard a weak "mayday" call on VHF guard. Although we (and several others, including ground agencies out of Lubbock and Amarillo) replied, we never got a response back from the pilot. Perhaps too low? Being unable to establish a comm link with the Mayday aircraft and with other ground and airborne resources trying to make contact, we continued to DFW and passed out of range. My concern for the pilot, however, remains.
The pilot id'ed himself as "N130MG" when giving the mayday, which the FAA database shows is listed to a JS 1b out of Plainview, Texas. Any Caprock Soaring Club members (or anyone else for that matter) participate in the rec.soaring forums available and know what the issue was, and more importantly, if the pilot is ok? Regards, Rob S. ASW-19b "ZAP" Austin, Texas
