Lavinia Ross May 8, 2018 / 10:01 am Desert landings can be rough. One of Rick’s friends was killed in a freak accident many years ago when the wing on his glider clipped a Saguaro cactus. It fell across the cockpit, killing him. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1986/07/16/Pilots-death-blamed-on-20-foot-cactus/9116521870400/ LikeLike
