Every human at every point in history has an opportunity to choose courage over cowardice. Look around and you will find that opportunity in your own time.

Hey Joe, That is a fantastic article! I could not have told you then, but I flew from Jockey's Ridge (near Kitty Hawk, NC) the summer after Kitty Hawk Kites was created. That was August of 1975. I took my brand new Eipper-Formance Flexi Flier 17 foot standard Rogallo wing down there from northern New Jersey and had the time of my life. I still have snap shots of me flying there. I'll have to find where I've put them up here and insert a link.

Oh, and John Harris bought a waterproof camera that I turned into a special one-off sand and waterproof PHOTO-POD for him. The PHOTO-POD, for those that don't know, was kind of a still frame 35 mm film camera version (that I created in the late 1980s and early 1990s) of the now famous Go-Pro (Long before the Go-Pro was imagined). A PHOTO-POD of mine took my "avatar" high above Telluride, CO.

I think John used his PHOTO-POD to get shots of tandem students flying above the beaches of NC. The students could then buy the photos to show their friends what they had done that summer!
