Bill Moyes has won
Flex-Wing Hang Glider Gold Air Awardas announced earlier in Oz Report.
His kite-gliding life has been outstanding and exemplary.
That he was unaware in his early years of others having hang glided with flex-wing hang gliders off earth surfaces before his feats, does not detract from his courage and generous sharing that moved others to fly.
He was rightly crediting the source of his wing from the American space program which in turn used public-domain arts to make the standard wing with A-frame and mass-shift control as fully exhibited by John Worth, as well as others. The extraordinary athleticism and detail care that Bill Moyes took over his kites with his expressed attitude: "stay alert, stay alive" has put him into golden memory by many.
Bill Moyes has joined the
Gold Circle.
