Two Hundred Lbs. Or Less

Watching this Video causes Me to Wonder: AC/DC is currently the Biggest Group in Rock. It makes Me Wonder, what if back in 1980 that Bob Scott had not Died? Where would the Rock Band AC/DC be? I mean They are the biggest Band in Music Today. It really causes My imagination to think about how They would be. I mean when You are currently the Largest Rock Act. Where do You go from there?

Then I think of the Simal tarries between AC/DC's deal and John's experience having designed the Predator. For the Predator was and I imagine still is the Hottest HG that had a Kingpost and Luff-Lines. The Predator is now, I do not know but just say that it is around 35 Years Old. Maybe, Maybe, just Maybe one of the Manufacturers of Hang Gliders have come out with a King-Posted Glider that is a better Design. I seriously think that is not the Case.


I do noy know when I will Fly My 158. But what I do know is that whatever Day I Fly. I will not weigh More than 200 Pounds. I have Flown My Predator When I weighed almost 300 Pounds, I have weighed as much as 298 when I stood on My Scale. Yes I had Power, Nimble, Steering. I am trying to prepare Myself for when I will have a New Experience Flying My 158 Predator. Yea My Glider will be Stiff.

Look, I hope that I do not bug anyone with My Posts. I also want to apologize for a Typing Error I should have typed Convenance instead of Continence. Heck, by My just thinking about this grammatical error, Bob should Ban Me.

Anyways, I just wanted to apologize. I hope everyone on their Next Flght are only able to Fly through Rising Air. Have Great Flights! Good By Chris McKeon 925-497-1059.

There's no need to apologize. We're all happy to have you here. My one suggestion is to re-read your posts carefully before you push the "Submit" button.

When you first started posting here, I was happy that you could find the "Submit" button. But you've come a long way since then. I think it's time for you to up your game a bit. ;)

Work on perfect posts. Write. Read. Re-write. Re-Read. And then Re-Read again. Then hit "Submit". That's what I do. :thumbup:

{The Dream of Flight Continues for Me}

I truly am going through a Time in My Life where The Word: "Follie" is appropriate when referring to things that either that I can Currently do, or am able to do, or things where I am approaching the Day, when I will be able to do. Things such as My doing a Hundred Push-Ups, While Maintaining Good Form.
MY DREAMS.

YES. I do Dream about flying. Was not Dreaming about flying Did not all of us began Our trek up into the Sky first, by dreaming about Flying. I do not know when the next Time that I will Fly again. Nor do I know what Type of Craft that I will Fly. It could very well be a HG or not. it could be a Sailplane, or a F-10. I really do not know what I will Fly. But Ah Wow! You can surely know That I will be completely engrossed in the Act of Piloting whatever it will be that I will be Flying on that Glorious Day. It matters not what I will Fly on that High Water Mark in My Status as a Pilot. No, just a Minute. Make that I will be bursting with a sense of happiness that I have never Known in My {LIFE}. I will be I bet, I will be bursting with Happiness.

We all know that Flying is a: A Skillset. I do think because I do Know that a Large Part of being a Good Pilot is hat for a Pilot to have Good, Long in time Flights, being able to remain up in the Air Flying requires that a Pilot must have a Good Mental comprehension of how the Glider He, or She happens to be Flying, Performs, and what the Atmosphere He or She is Flying in is doing at the time of His or Her Flight.

I am not going to sit here and say what I am going to do, or more to the Point: When I will Fly again, for I do not know. But what I do know, is this. I will make every effort to Fly again.

OK, in an effort to complete this Journey that I am on, my "JOURNEY" is learning as Much as I am able to in order to complete My Journey of recovery due to Injuries incurred due to My having Pounded Myself into the Ground Fifteen Years ago. Yes, it will be nice to actually be able to see after Doctor Daniel Amen Scans My Brain. it will be nice to actually be able to see the Data that will be produced By Doctor Anen's scanning of Mt Brain. I will finally have "Real Data" that will be derived by Doctor Amen's brain Scanning Device having Scanned My Brain.

So, My Sister and I will proceed with how We think this should go forward at this point, and Time. It strikes me a little bit odd, that I have never known a Person Who has had Their Brain Scanned before. Heck, I never knew that a Persons Brain could be scanned. Well, the one thing I {DO KNOW} is that My brain due to the effects of My having subjected My Brain due to a serious Dose of an excessive G-load, has been far worse off than it is Today.

For Me it will be nice to Finally be able to due to what information is produced by My having My Brain Scanned. It sure will be nice to be able to observe just how injured My brain still is. Also, if My brain is still indeed injured, it will hopefully be nice to learn what can be done so that My Brain will be once again: {NORMAL}>

Chris,

It's unlikely that Andy will read the U.S. Hawks. Windsports has its own web site at Windsports.com. If you go there, you'll find their phone number and email address as:

  • 818-367-2430
  • Fly@Windsports.com

You should contact them about scheduling your flying.

"JAIL-BREAK"

Postby Chris McKeon » Sat Apr 12, 2025 8:20 am

Bob, you talk a Schedule. I do not at this point have in any way, Shape, or Form, a Schedule to Fly. All I have is a Dream to Leave this as John says. "This Gravity Secured Penitentiary that We all exist in. So Bob, anyways; Thanks for Posting the Contact Information regarding how I might be able to contact Him. I believe that the Next Time that I hear the Song by the Rock and Roll Band ACDC {JAIL BREAK} it will stir emotions in Me, where I Fantasize about My own "JAIL BREAK".

PS: I am so ready to be in the Position where I will "Talk Less and Fly More".

So, here I have been Playing My Gibson SG. I can tell by how much better My Playing has improved due to My Playing M S-G. I truly wonder if when I leave the Ground or the Sand. I will recall the awesome experience of Flight, oh 35 Years ago. Yes, I will reemerge as an active Aviator with a Twist. For I have been recovering from a intense Pounding Fifteen Years ago. I find that there are so many things that I do that are still improving as I continue to do them. I really wonder if when I Fly again, will it be the same thing with Flying? Will I have more success as I continue to Fly! Will John think: This is just like Old Times. Or will john watch Me fly, and think: This is a Bad dream?


On another Post a Pilot put up His Thoughts: Flying is like Riding a Bike, once you know how to Ride a Bike. You never Forget.

I am so hopping that I have not Forgotten How to Fly My Predator.

Bob. I thimk is tired hearing that I will be coming down to Dockweiler for the Otto Lilienthal Fly-In. Only for Me not To show. But I do believe that this Year is the Year that I make it to Dockweiler to attend the Celebration for Otto Lilienthal's Birthday. But really this Year: 2025, it is about time that I head down South.
