In the early 80's, our son was flying a 2x6 in a contest in Mount Vernon, Washington. He had a pop-off and the sailplane had nearly immediate nose-first contact with the ground. Within minutes, two of the the local police were out at the Tercel's field wanting to know where the airplane crashed. Someone driving by had apparently seen a portion of the episode and called 911 to report an airplane crash. There was a full size glider port fairly close by, so in retrospect the response was not that surprising. The police were actually somewhat amused and stayed to watch the flying for a short while. No, the incident didn't make the papers so far as we know.
