Accidents and incidents
  • On September 10, 2003, Burkhart Grob G102 Club Astir IIIB impacted terrain during an off-airport landing near Highland-Winet Airport. The glider was released from a tow plane at 3,000 feet, and the pilot reported the thermals he tried to fly in were weak, preventing the aircraft from maintaining altitude. The aircraft encountered a strong downdraft while returning to H07 and was unable to reach the airport.[8]
