You might want to ask Chip Garner about the A-7 that ate 3 feet of one of his wings. There have been a few others between airplanes and gliders, in the US and away from airports... Apr 20, 1986: LS-4 vs. A-7 I've read some others between military and civilian airplanes, but I haven't found any more glider vs. airplane. And as far as being on an MTR while there is a NOTAM for its use, well, I once wandered into an active artillery range too. When the tree branches started falling off, there was no mystery there. I'd like to hear about other glider vs. airplane not near an airport, if others have references... And thanks to Marc for this one... -- ------------+ Mark J. Boyd |
