OTTO ROCKS!

Just back in Arizona from the meetup/celebration...one great day!

Met enthusiasts of course from Cali and some also from Arizona and from other states too (Oregon, Texas, Nevada & New York) and felt welcomed and even more- I got to listen to many share their experienced takes! Felt like a sponge taking it in.

Got half way back to LAX in the cab before realizing I'd left my gift from Joe F...

Very much appreciate the invite from BobK! At times he looked like a one-armed paper-hanger seemingly taking on ceaseless tasks...then bestowing a bunch of grub to boot!

Cannot express enough appreciation for Joe Greblo whom offered my first flight!
Then a second, then a third! WOW~ what a sensation! What a succinct instructor!

Feel like I hit the Hang Gliding jackpot! You guys are great!

Thank you Bob, for making the Otto 44th meet happen!

And to Joe Greblo for for the use of his business and his efforts throughout the day!

I'm putting the link to my Vimeo video of some of the soaring that was done at the 44th anniversary of HG meet yesterday here. At some time later it might be better to be in the HG videos section but right now it is associated with the May 23rd meet.

Check it out at: https://vimeo.com/128752670

Here's also my "End of a perfect day" photo.
