Look out for Gliders
A polite reminder to everyone to lookout for gliders. Today I had the misfortune to take evasive action - again. Flying in a gaggle with 4 other gliders close to Reading a 152/172 charged right through the middle.
Some points for power pilots to remember.
1. If a glider is circling, then the chances are there is more than one in the area.
2. Gliders use cloud streets and can travel a speeds up to 140kts.
3. Power gives way to sail.
I fly powered too so I can see power pilots point of view.
p.s. I am considering filing an airmiss report it was that close.
