Hawker vs. Glider Midair - with photo!
"Darkwing" theducksmail"AT"yahoo.com wrote in message ... http://www.nevadaappeal.com/article/...0025/-1/REGION WoW !!! For once, I wish that there were more pictures of the damage to the jet, and some pictures of the glider "remains." Although that the details will come out as time goes by, it looks like the article was very well written, unusually, for a news report of an aviation accident. I'll be interested in the following stories of the event. -- Jim in NC |

The category preference only applies to aircraft converging from other than head on (apply directly to the forehead). I'm sure the NTSB will give study as to what the actual tracks were and what the visual vantages were from both ships. |
