Thanks RGSA for a great weekend!!!

[Bill Cummings]

Here is Gary Browning from Hidden Valley just north of Deming NM (USA) on our bunny hill. The hill is located on the East side of Las Cruces, NM (USA).
At the start of his run the Organ Mountains are visible on the skyline.
This would be his second bunny hop in 17 yrs out of the sport.
Bob K. wore himself out carrying the glider all over the bunny hill to keep Gary out of the cardiac wing of the hospital which was just across the street.

This picture is of Bob Kuczewski wing running at the base of our bunny hill.
Bob was quite the work horse carrying the glider for everyone. It’s a wonder he could still lift it for this picture. (He almost slept through supper at my house.)
Bob you can come back and carry for---I mean fly with us anytime.

Welcome Back Gary!!!!!!

It's always an honor to help bring people back into the great sport of hang gliding ... but I was glad the cardiac wing was nearby ... for me!!!  

You guys have a great club, and it was very cool to meet so many of your members. I'm proud to be the newest member of the RGSA.  

Best wishes and fly safe!!

Update ...

Thanks again for the RGSA's vote to join the US Hawks. I just sent an email message to the Torrey Hawks welcoming the RGSA and I'll be sending an email message to the rest of the US Hawks shortly.

I hope this national exposure helps connect more pilots and clubs in our sport. Welcome again to the RGSA!!!

Great job BobK

Sure good to have an established chapter added to the Hawks members.

Welcome back Gary.

Good job Bill C.

Check out the number of views of the pics, ~500 already.

Sure good to have an established chapter added to the Hawks members.

Local Chapters are the backbone of our sport. Local sites manage sites, mentor new pilots, and bring pilots together. The US Hawks is built on growing and promoting local chapters any way we can. We really appreciate all the people (including you Sam!!) who've worked hard to build a hang gliding community wherever you're located.
