Really hate to hear that sad news. Being glider
rated myself (I'm mean really), I've always enjoyed sailing in one of the units
(as opposed to doing it in an RV-6a) - always felt I could put one down safely
almost anywhere and walk away - but clearly as this incident with Mike
shows - anytime you depart on a flight, you never know for certain the
outcome.
Fly high Mike, we'll miss you much.

Sorry to report that we lost a fine friend and fellow rotor-head
yesterday.
Mike Wills was doing what he loved (flying, this time
in a glider) when apparently he ran out of thermal lift and couldn't find more
before having to make an off field landing. Very few facts in yet but
sounds like a wing clipped a tree before he went in. He will be
missed.
