This happened at the glider contest in Joseph Oregon, related to me by a friend who attended. One of the guys went up to the CD and inquired about the pin for Channel 39. He said that it was out and he had been waiting all day for it and he wanted to fly his glider with a high-start. The CD said that the someone must have taken the pin home with them so he took another pin, wrote "39" on it and handed it to the guy. The guy turned on his radio and crashed the tow plane that was on channel
- The tow plane, a 40% cub which was borrowed, was completely destroyed and the giant glider it was towing extensively damaged. No word on who was going to pay for all of this, but I am sure it positively ruined the CD's day.
