The glider was an ASG29, and the jet pilot, flying at approximately 300 knots, would have been hard pressed to see the sailplane in time to avoid. See and avoid being the operative words, I'm quite sure that the jet pilot would have given the right of way had the glider been seen. Makes me pucker a bit, and use the unicom frequency to announce my presence, altitude, and location when near airports... especially when landing. A white glider against a blue/white sky from 2 miles is almost impossible to see. How fast do you cover 2 miles at 300 knots? Believe me, it happens fast.
