If you go together, you'll go far, quickly.
I heard this somewhere, but when I had one of my best days of flying the above was easy to apply.
Phil, Rob, Mike Rafferty, Loren and I flew To Big T; Loren and Rob continued to Lukens. Rob was on my Lightspeed, I was on my U2, Mike Rafferty was on my Freedom, Phil and Loren were on Sport two's.

..Hang gliding is the best thing I have found to do with my time. I could write pages trying to explain it, but I feel that is unnecessary. Like a religion, the people who need it find their way to it by their own means, for their own reasons. Some consider flying to be their religion...
..It is un-natural for a human to fly. Your brain will need to change from two-dimentional thought to three-dimentional thought. Most people who want to do it, can. Some cannot. ..
