Hello all You Members of this Hawks Website. So here I am going on 16vYears as of March Twenty Eight of March I will have not Flown My fantastic Hang Glider. I achieved so much when I Flew My 158 PREDATOR for over 20 Years. I mean like My HG friend Zack once said to Me: The Predator has an Phenomenal Sink-Rate. Yes it truly does have a Phenomenal Sink Rate. Will I when I Fly again. Will I look at other Glider's with Myself feeling, no Longing to Fly one of these: (SUPER SHIP TOPLESS GLIDERS). When I launch from the same Mountain on the same Day with one of the new Hot Ship Topless Glider's Will I suffer for the First time in My Flying Ten Year. Will the Fay finally will have arrived where I will suffer a case of: "TOPLESS ENVY" ? I think not. Note to JOHN: It has now been Years". To my My

I fully realize that I come across as some sort of ground Bound perpetual Pozer of a HG Pilot. Heck I am not capable of doing what I would need to be a Pozer. John could, and will perform an IRAN on My 158 Predator. Then if I was driving. I could drive around and at least look like a HG Pilot who Fly's this Smoking Hot Glider! No, No I could not do that for after I was in a Coma for 3 Months. A Kaiser Doctor filled out a form, then mailed that Form to the DMV. Bingo! I nMu Drivers license was rendered Null and Void. Great Fun!

I must admit that being grounded for 16 Years while for Me this has been just the most Awful experience. But rest asured I could have imagined. But fret not, for My Time in the Sky is coming. I do not know which type Aircraft that I will Fly next. Well it might be one of John's Glider's. It might be a Sail Plane, or an F - 104. I do know what type of an Aircraft that I will Never Fly. For I am not Qualified to Fly a Paraglider. I do not have HUGE BALLS, or the required Nerves of Steel that s Person must possess I. Order to Fly a Paraglider.

OK: Here I sit (HANG WAITING) like I never Dreamed of Hang Waiting. My Mind always goes back to before 1_28-2010. Back before I pounded I Flew pretty Well. But who knows how I will Fly now. But I am sitting here in a Holding Pa: (HOLDING PATTERN). I think about Flying almost constantly, to Nauseum. But I think that My Day is on the Way. I just so want the chance to demonstrate to John and Myself that I can still Flying. John has had had Pilots who got whatever reason had taken off from Flying. But I believe that I am the only Pilot who has not flown in 16 Years or More due Solely to the Fact of having been injured. Note to John. Ok John, You know the Deal, My Deal. I am just waiting for Your call. Good By Everyone. Chris McKEon 925-497-2059.

I am so looking forward to Flying again. I truly do not know where it will be where I take Flight for the first time since March 28th. But even if I was to simply launch Fly down a Training Hill. Or Maybe I will finally head down to Southern California and I launch one Of John's Glider's. That Flight will land Me in the Hang Gliding Hall of Fame. For certainly no Doctor saw that I would be able to recover as I have. In My Mind, I visualize how I will with the help of our Friend set up the Glider. I will perform a through Pre-Flight. I will put on a training harness. John will most likely attach one of His Cameras. Heck this launch will be the begining of a Flight that regarding time aloft will be measured in mere Seconds. But even If I remember how to Whack a Glider. TBI Note: Because of the fact that I have Pounded so severely, on My last Flight I really did Pound I was appraised evaluated by Kaiser Doctor's Wo gave Me a Mental evaluation of 6 on the Glascow scale m. Or was it 15. I am not sure if it is 5 or fifteen. Sorry About My indecision. So please cut Me some slack. After all I had a Brain injury.

Do it is 5:45 in the morning. Kathleen and I are Driving Towards Modesto. We have a 54 Mile Commute so that Kathleen. Can tend to our Quadraparleegic friend Tim. Kathleen Cathterises, makes and serves Tim Breakfast. I am so proud of Kathleen. FLYING! It all resolved back to Flying. For I not only like to Fly. No it is worse than merely liking to Fly wtg Me. No Flying is not something that I like to do. Flying is something that I Must do

Sixteen Years. I have only flown one Aircraft idiring the Sixteen Years since My last Flight Flying My Beloved Predator. No I am a Post Pound, Predator Pilot. But I am just doing as much as I am able to do to insure that when John comes up here to Northern California that iI might have the chance to Prove to Myself, and demonstrate to John that I am still capable of Filing. Yes Baby.

Here I am z texting My thoughts regarding My Flying a Hangglider,let alone My Predator.John was with some Pilot, I do not know what the Pilots name was. But anyways this z pilot were in the SoP working on a Glider. Well this Guy cut a cable. John said to the Guy: You know if You hold the cable over the Trash and cut lt. Zhou will not have to clean up the mess. Well this Guy said to John: John, do You think about every Breath You take? This scenario is a Classic John Heiney. I always seem to enjoy My self when I am with John.
" PREDATOR".
OK, I will just come out and admit it: I am a Died in the Wool Predator Fanatic. I have enjoyed Over twenty Years of pure enjoyment Flying My predator. I want to be honest, I am Nothing to write Home about, regarding My Skills as a Pilot. I look back at all the Flights that I had. How I as the Pilot. I seemed to be? I always seems to stumble into one Thermal after another. The other thing that I feel that sheer luck played a huge factor in My Flying My Predator. Being able to remain Airborne. As the Years ticked By, the luckier that I got. But the true credit in My success goes to My Predator. I mean the Predator if You steer it at all Correctly, avoiding as Much sink as You can. Monitoring Your Speed. Then You cover a fair bit of Distance. Considering that My Predator dreads those Luff Lines and King Post through the Air. Even with My (Then Weight). On a Lite Day I was fortunate that I Flew My 158 Predator.
