Air Force Academy Glider Lands Near Powers And Old Ranch

An Air Force Academy glider has landed near Powers Boulevard and Old Ranch Road after losing thermal lift.

The glider is part of the Air Force Academy cross-county glider team, according to Air Force Academy spokesman John Van Winkle.

The glider lost thermal lift because of changing weather conditions and landed safely in a field, according to Van Winkle.

The pilot was not hurt.

The Academy is now making arrangements to get the glider back to the Academy.
