Seminole Lake Gliderport had another accident. From what the pictures look like, the left wing of their Blanik L-23 was demolished from mid wing where it bent the leading edge all the way back to the spar.

Not sure what to make of this, if it will be covered up, or will there be an NTSB report. Probably more money wired from the offshore accounts will keep the operation afloat while they are down a glider.

I sure hope everyone is ok from the accident. Anyone have details of the specifics?

If you look on the FAA website, you will see that this has been investigated, and a report will be issued. In fact, the FAA entered it into the system twice. Once on the 26th, and again on the 29th.

This is the link to the FAA Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) page. If you are concerned that any future accident or incident you hear about might just be "brushed under the rug", you might look there to see what is going on before pointing fingers. This information was available 5 days before your post.

Best to you in the new year,
