Didn't Make It Home Today ...

I like it, even if you didn't get the top prize

Cool I thought they forgot about me when it wasn't in the last POTW roundup.

I would have given you a hat for that.

Nice shot, Pete!

How do glider pilots get out of a field like that? Just have a tow plane come out and tow them out?

Not a Glider Pilot but...

I believe they take the wings off and trailer them home.

I've done both. You can aero retrieve if you have enough room, or as Missa said the wings do come off, and you can put them into a box. for more info on the saga of this landout check this thread out...
