Luckily both pilots were able to bail out. One pilot was injured and is recovering.

Around 5500 feet, 3500 AGL or so. They were not flying together per se, but were part of 8 gliders or so who flew from Byron that day in the same area on a great soaring day. That’s pretty much all I know so far. The bail out was captured by a photographer. You will need to zoom on the photos.

They need to go buy a lotto ticket. Bob

Rumor has it that while both gliders were Flarm equipped, one was not functioning that day. Anybody know more?

I can only confirm that one flarm was working since I could see him earlier.. He also had ADSB. I know the other glider was equipped with flarm but I don’t know if it was operative.
One of the gliders was my old ASW27. Ramy
