She is in the Orlando hospital where they life flight all the
trauma cases. Belinda Boulter, the meet director, is with her.

Yoko called Larry and I on the radio saying (we thought) that she needed help.
She speaks very little English and her voice is barely audible on the radio so
we could not make out whether she was hurt or just her glider. Fortunately we
had just spoken with Belinda who is monitoring our frequency. Belinda was also
tracking Yoko and other pilots on Airtribune so she had at least some
coordinates for her although not updated for twenty minutes. I had her call 911
and send an ambulance to those coordinates. Yoko was getting desperate so we
figured she had to be hurt.

At the same time the land owner came by to check out the hang glider and saw
that Yoko was hurt and called 911. The ambulance was there quickly and they
called in the helicopter. One of the EMT's got on the radio and assured Larry
and I that Yoko was being cared for.

Belinda and Yvonne were already on their way and they together broke down the
messed up glider and communicated with the EMT's. They then went and picked up
Oleg.

A day full of drama.

Lots of pain. Pain killers I assume have been administered. X-rays have been
taken.
