  • My logbook does say July 5, 1975 and reads "Flipped coin - I won (?) against Gene Hobson, tail wind 5mph, landing area 4 to 1. Lost altitude getting airspeed on take off. Flew straight for field. Started hearing crickets (probably cicadas) in woods below (meaning trees were getting nearer). At 50' spotted a thin low area in the trees, 180'd back to it. Flared over trees, crashing thru - hung up 5' off ground. Got a 2" rip in the sail.
