Mifflin 15m Nationals glider crash - 1st SPOT save?
Glad to see people like Frank and Mark designing safety features that
are helping out our sport. I can only imagine the nightmare of being stranded in the trees with no way out, just hoping that someone will find you. Without a Spot Tracker you are completely at the mercy of others to find you, a needle in a haystack. Absolutely no excuses anymore, everyone needs a Spot Tracker. I'm ordering mine right now.
