US Hawks Hang Gliding Association

Here is the link to this morning's article in the Daily Pilot, about yesterday's 40th anniversary gathering near the flying site. Not mentioned is that we also went onto a portion of the actual hill, on the cemetery grounds.

This is the local newspaper of the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa area and is owned by the LA Times. It also contains links to the Times article of May 24, 1971.

The model shown is not a replica, as is stated in the Daily Pilot article. It is actually my test/prototype which I built in the summer of 1971. I started construction of the full size glider on November 5, 1971.

For those who don't know, the Colver Skysail burned in the fire that destroyed the San Diego Aerospace Museum.

Hi Frank,

What is it that you're flying in your avatar?

It's a little bit small and hard to tell. Can you post a larger version?

P.S. It was great to have that article published. Please keep us involved in your future efforts.
