From: (Mark Navarre) The field at the SE corner of the intersection of Hwy 395 and Kennedy Meadows Rd. (about 20 miles N of Inyokern) has a landable zone, but I missed it's centerline by about 3 feet laterally That statement may give someone the assumption that this is a good field for a landout, so I thought I should clarify. To be more specific, missing the centerline 3 feet to the right caused contact with a bush, but missing the centerline 3 feet to the left would put the glider in an undulating 2 foot deep 200 foot long rut with rocks at the end. I would choose not to land there again if it could be avoided, but will file the site away in my memory, although rather low on the list. No coordinates will be given, the field is not worth it. Also....a belated congrats to GB for an excellent performance, and thanks to GB and 05 for their help with my retrieve. Good thing you guys didn't get to see that field by daylight! Next year I want to go back to beating up on the sports class (he whined). - Mark Navarre ASW-20 OD California, USA - |
