So, Bob isn't Flying Hang Gliders a better wat to send Your time than just about anything that You have done? I mean just about every time My Feet leave the Ground I am awed by the Experience. I for One Truly do feel Blessed.

We are truly blessed. I often think about how many centuries people lived on this planet dreaming of flying. It's only been in the last few decades that we could finally make that dream come true. We are truly blessed.

And those of us who don't fly Hang Gliders, but were truly blessed to be a part of the support teams that brought so much joy to the many spectators who witnessed the evolution of one of the best free flight gliders the world has ever known. From this...

For me, from Bill Benett's kite glider in Australia 1968, to the "Bamboo" glider at Torrance Beach 1970, to Jeff Campbells first flights in Telluride 1971, I was truly blessed and thank you Bob and all the guys at U S Hawks for reading about this incredible piece of history. U S Hawks is a blessing in itself.

Ok here I am contemplating My returning to Free-Flight. It is not like I will be Flying My Predator Next Week. No. even if I was ready to fly My Predator again, John needs to perform an IRAN on My Glider, then take My Predator for a test-Flight. I have heard from My Sister and My Brother words to the Contrary that I will never Fly again. But the way I see it, I did not Die on March 28th. 2010. Yes, I want to go forward and Upward in the Sky, Oh My! I like the way Fly till I Die sounds. Yes, I plan on Flying each and every Day before I die. Fly till I Die. By the way, I am quite alive rite now.

Who knows, maybe instead of Merly talking about getting Myself down to Dockweiler towards the end of May. Yes, maybe I will actually get myself down to one of, or is the Best Spot to launch a Hang Glider, Correct Bob?

John Hooker, what Can I say? I mean that guy sure could Play. Johb Hooker, if he flew, should of Flown a Predator. I look at all the notables in numerous different activities. I mean Musci sons such as John Hooker cause Me to think about other Mussi sons, such as Glenn Miller, or Angus Young. i think how did they get started? I think of a Story I once heard regarding Angus Young. When Angus was back in Grade School. His Music teacher went home one night and had a Dinner time story to Tell. Well, I now have a Musical Prodigy.

I think that this Year is finally the Year when I will Finally fly. Yes, I believe that I will Finally make down South to Dockweiler Beach for the otto Fly-In.

Yes, Dockweiler will be the appropriate the appropriate Place for Me to take to the Sky. What has change with Me since y last Flight is this; I really do not want to have a Second Brain Injury. Flying off a Sand Dune. Then landing on Sand, coupled with My wearing My racy Full-Face Kali Helmet, AS I heard down in New Zealand When I was nervous. aspiring Newbie Hang Glider Pilot. I remember the "Local Pilot-Instructor Bruce said To Me: "Youl be rite Mate".
