I figure landing in a nudist camp would present some manageable problems/opportunities. George Schuit was telling me of flying in a contest in Europe (maybe a worlds?), where he and another pilot decided to work a bubble at 200'. The patch of ground underneath was the only landable spot they had been able to find in the weakening conditions, so George started flying a circuit to outland. But he reassessed his options once he could clearly see the prides of fauna below - they were overhead a Lion Park. George and his mate thermalled away. Would it be appropriate that the next edition of Basic Gliding knowledge addresses some of these issues?

Perhaps not, according to local folklore. After landing on a farm in the Mojave Desert, the pilot walked up to the house to discover he was in a nudist camp. Didn't bother him too much until the barbecue, when everyone was still "au nu". This claim is made of Jack Lambie, who was reputedly endowed with a 7" willy. "Once he landed in a nudist camp where he felt so much at home that he stayed to dinner, took of his clothes and gave a speech." Lambie was a flyer of almost everything including the Hang Loose biplane hang glider as well as sailplanes and he owned a Piper Cub and Fournier motorglider. Have others landed in nudist camps? The west coast must be covered with them! DMcD
