EMS personnel were already on scene from the Central Yavapai Fire District and pronounced the male pilot deceased. The pilor has been identified as 74-year-old Robert Bauman of Prescott. 

    The glider was launched while connected to a tow cable powered by a stationary winch, which pulls the glider up to speed while gaining altitude. At approximately 1000 feet, the tow line disconnects to allow free flight. At some point during takeoff/tow and after gaining altitude, the aircraft appeared to lose control and descend rapidly, striking the ground and killing the pilot. There were several witnesses to the crash. Specific cause is unknown.

    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
