Mr. Boggs and Mr. Nixon: What is your age, currency and PIC time? I assume you don't mind sharing. Actually, I think Hank's info (Nixon) is public domain. Just go to the Soaring Hall of Fame and look under the letter "N". https://www.soaringmuseum.org/hall-of-fame.php Who is phlyi... @gmail.com, anyway??? |

What does "not very current" mean and how do these personal details relate to this accident? Mr. Boggs and Mr. Nixon: What is your age, currency and PIC time? I assume you don't mind sharing. Calm down Phyllis......nobody is being trashed here...just beginning an inquiry into possibilities and probabilities to learn why we loss a soaring brother. Speculations, normally held in check, does no harm to a dead pilot. Any pilot worth his salt searches for answers because they could save his life one day. This thread will not be squelching opinions, but encouraging ideas. R |

Mr. Boggs and Mr. Nixon: What is your age, currency and PIC time? I assume you don't mind sharing. "Not very current" means to me a low amount of recent flight activity. Almost always a factor that increases risk. My info: 7700hrs in gliders (just under 13000 landings) 60 hours and about 100 landings in last 60 days. I did 20 tows on the day of the accident at a site 11 miles away. Some info I have relayed is from other sources with knowledge I trust. UH |
