Whatsamatta, wind quit?
There must be more to it than "grab a logger and go."

He had a barograph only, no flight recorder. We actually ran out of flight recorders.

GLIDER DITCHES SAFELY IN HARTLAND
NORTH HARTLAND - After losing the wind beneath the wings of his glider, a pilot landed the aircraft safely in a farm field yesterday afternoon, Hartland emergency officials said last night.
Capt. Doug Harrington of the Hartland Volunteer Fire Department said that the pilot, Bill S, had flown out of Post Mills Airport, and "was just kind of buzzing around North Hartland (when) he lost his air.
"I was in North Hartland at the time, and saw where it was low, but I didn't know if it was going down or not."
While Lebanon firefighters searched on the New Hampshire side of the Connecticut River, five Hartland firefighters searched along the Vermont side until finding the undamaged glider - and an uninjured Swartz - in a field of clover belonging to the Lemax Farm off Route 5, well away from farm buildings and cornfields.
"We also had a DHART (Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Response Team) helicopter come over to look from overhead," Harrington said.
No one could be reached at the Post Mills Airport yesterday for details about the glider or the pilot.
Phone calls to Lemax Farms yielded no response last night.
