A Rolladen-Schneider LS-4 glider and an LTV A7E jet collided over Hot Springs Mountain, near Warner Springs, CA. The A7E was attempting a rapid pull up and the glider was attempting a nose down, 30 degree right turn when they collided. Both aircraft were operating under visual flight rules and landed without further incident. Neither pilot was injured. The glider left wing outboard 3 ft section was severed. The A7E nose cowling was substantially damaged and the engine ingested extensive fiberglass material. The collision occurred as the A7E was executing a southbound turn on VR 1257 and was within the route width (4 NM); the glider was attempting to gain lift on the west side of Hot Springs Mountain and was within VR 1257 route structure. The A7E pilot had informed the necessary flight service stations that the route was active; the glider pilot had not contacted the flight service stations to determine if the route was active.
