Only 20 days and ... and we are putting him to work.
Greg DeWolf: ... again introduced two students to the wonder world of hang gliding!
Thanks, Greg, for the day! He caught our error in packing the wing: folding crossbar needs to be in the correction orientation! Repack! Eagle-eye Greg.
Bob Kuczewski:--- probably 6 or 7 takeoffs, 6 or 7 landings, and 7 or 8 carrybacks. He placed camera on wing for catching some flights of several of us; thank you, BobK.
Frank Colver: soon to be 81 ... had 3 fully independent take-offs and 3 landings; "He's Back!" Today, at the help of BobK, he gets to have his first videos of his flights! Earlier era of his hang gliding: Super 8 and stills.
Joe Faust: 14 takeoffs; 14 landings; 18 carrybacks (some for others; he likes the carryback experiences ... adding potential energy to wings and bodies! Before the hang gliding winds came up, I explored two special kites with some fun successes.
U. S. Hawks brought treats and drinks for a meeting by the group where Ken Andrews listened to some concerns.
Thanks, BobK. Yum.Frank carefully made a super hot sauce from scratch to go with the chips.
