Bill Liscomb ... hang glider history flow
Top photographer Bettina Gray, mother of Bill !

Bill is shown in the Photo-Fly centerfold of Low & Slow No. 12.
From that period to today Bill continues to influence the world hang gliding.
His careful work to produce Big Blue Sky cemented a key place in HG.
This topic thread invites discussion of any part of Bill's hang gliding text and works.

Bill's contribution through Big Blue Sky has been a tremendous gift to the sport.

Maybe we could coordinate a showing of Big Blue Sky after the Miller Hobson event on the 11th?

Does anyone have any ideas for a venue near the beach?
