US Hawks Hang Gliding Association

It was a great hang gliding day at Torrey today. We had at least 7 members of the Torrey Hawks there (Bob, John, Ken, Ernie, Doug, Chris, and Willie) .... and I may have missed a few since I wasn't on the ground very long (Ken loaned me his Freedom 150 so I didn't even have to set up or break down a glider!! :clap:

). That's a pretty good turn out for a week day!!! 8-)

Here are some shots from my flight (the first one shows Kenny helping me launch - Thanks Kenny!!!):

These are stills from a fairly low resolution video. The camera doesn't have any kind of "fish eye" lens, so the keel mount really doesn't show enough of the scenery. I usually mount it on the washout struts (way out near the tips) and that works best for this camera. But it was worth a try just to get a different perspective on my hang gliding flights.
