I just watched the whole thing. I couldn't tear myself away from it!!!

I never realized how much of the "Big Blue Sky" footage came from "Playground in the Sky".

This must be about the most beautiful hang gliding picture I've ever seen:

I had seen most of this somewhere, but this full version had some great stuff I hadn't seen before.
But GOD, the music was painful considering the 70's had some of the greatest rock and roll ever created. Hang gliding in the seventies was definitely more about rock 'n roll and not banjo's. Big Blue Sky had sort of a surfer theme which worked much better.

It did remind me how standard rogallos had a built in air speed indicator...sail buzz. No buzz...you were too slow.
