Helping with land out blues............

Ok, I got the "Far side" Gary Larson one in last year.

I landed out in a large pasture. At the near end were several 8 or so cows mostly young heifers. I flew over them and landed in the middle of a 3/4 mile square field and rolled to about 200 feet from the far corner. I got out and called for a ground retrieve and set about to secure the glider in the corner of the field to protect it from any thing that may come by. I was busy for about five minutes or so focused inside the cockpit with my back to the field. When I finally stood up and turned around there were 10 cows equally spaced in a half semicircle exactly the same distance away, about 15 feet, all looking at me with intense curiosity and heads slightly cocked! I thought that Gary would have had a great caption under this cartoon. Something to the effect of "Don't let em go girls, he maybe our only means of escape"!

There's only one prescription for landout blues... More cowbell!

So the next time you land out or feel depressed try
finding some fresh cow dung and get a lungful of this fresh

So let me get this straight. Your prescription for the effects of landing
out is a large dose of bull****? Can't see that working for too many
people, even on 1Apr :-)

The winner of the bovine vs. glider story contest has to be Francois Pin. He landed a PW-5 in a pasture in Florida and after securing the glider and putting the canopy cover on, started to walk out to find a phone. Looked back just in time to see a bull attempting to mate with the PW-5. Stuck both front hooves through the canopy.

There are some who would make an observation that the front of a PW-5 looks like the back end of a cow, but I am not one of them.

Hey Tom, is it purely coincidental that it is April 1st today?

I did a simple copy and paste. Its gender related. But for those wishing to come out of their man caves, here another link....

No RX needed! Also, have you ever, I mean ever, heard a land out story which didn't contain some bull****?

I always heard that, if you land in a field with only one cow it it,
it's a bull. I consider that to be good advice.

I once landed in an ugly empty field. Soon there were two fairly frisky horses clomping around my then 20; fortunately they kept their hooves to themselves. After snuffling the canopy by one of them they went back to their corralled area. To be replaced by five cows, one much larger than the others.
They turned out to be cows complete with appendages, the whole 9 yards as it were. And the lead one, a kinda Brahmin bull with a hump, seemed to be pretty cross that I was in his field. The younger ones, still complete ones, were increasingly agitated by the leader's crossness. For a while much scraping at the dirt and tossing dust and heads and snorting. I covered my face with my silly flying hat to prevent there being eyes for them to focus on -- and eventually they wandered off.
Most "interesting" landout ever for all sorts of other reasons. Glad it will never be repeated,
