Here I am coming up on 16 Years where as Late all I can do is think about Flying. I do not know what I will Fly when I finally take Flight. But I am bound and Determined to Fly Something.Eill it be John's North Wing Glider? Or might it be that Grobe Two Place Sailplane that a couple of years that I Flew over out of the Byron Airport. Maybe I might be able to talk My way into Flying an F-104. But to Fly is a Constant thought. I have 195 reasons or LESS why I plan on accomplishing the Highest, and the Furthest Flights everwhen I Flew My Predator again 158 Predator.

Ok, I have a Question: When Flying a Hang Glider. Here in California is it required that a Pilot used Hands Free while Flying? Is there a Law?

[Chris McKeon]

I may be doing: (My Ground Pounding)
But alas this is a temporary Condition. In My Heart I sinking to Fly My 158 Predator. I mean I think that just My shortest XC Flight of the last Year is further than all My XC Flights that proceeded it leading to just one of My XC Flights during My last Year of Flying. The one short Flight that I did was My last Flight. In fact in actuality My Last Flight was not technically as n XC Flight for rite up until Iset uup a DBF I could have be chosen to Fly back to Diablo l and jus

Yes I do sit around and I do think about Flying. I mean, why the Heck Not? I wonder who it was who first came up with the Idea of Short-Packing a Glider? I can think of a time when I was transverasing a distance of No Mans Land. No Mans Land being a where where You land is farther away from a road than You care to land pack Your Glider. Well being able to Short-Pack My Predator. Would be an large asset when I stupidly Sunk out. Anybody have any replies?

OK I will be honest. I just want to say a few things about My love for Flight. I look back as I approach 16 Years since I pounded Sunday 3-28-2010. Boy oh Boy did that Day Slter My life. That Sunday in March did not only change My Ability to Fly. The Pounding altered My Life. In spite of the enormous personal prices, both to My Body and My Brain I want to Fly again. I believe just as a Family friend of our Family, Brian "W" who back when I was around 11 or 22 Years Old. Anyways Brian attended UC Davis where got good grades. Well one Day Brian decided to take some LSD. Well Brian did LSD just (ONE TIME). Well Brian became A Schofrenoc. I mean what Brian went through. To be Young Kid which I was. What happened to Brian put the: Gear of God into My Sister, My Brother, and My Self.Fot not one of us Kids went on to "Do Acid". No never, I never ever gave any thoughts to doing LSD. I wanted to retain My ability to think. So in Closing I believe that I can be the Poster Pilot for the expression I shall not Pound!

Ok I have a couple of Thoughts - Questions: Quite possibly what My Thoughts are regarding My Flying are at this Post Pound, Post: Super Pound existence. So, Yes as good a landing Glider the Predator is. And it is just that a fantastic Glider. As I continued to Fly the Same Glider for over 20 Years. My friends All went on to buy, and then went on to Fly their Topless Superships. I continued to fly My Predator. Look it is quite Possible that when I Fly alongside the re Top-Less Super-Ship s, I will want one. But 16 zuears sho I did not list for Topless Glider's
After all, They have had 30 Years to work on it.

So here I am in Modesto here in the Central Valley of California. It seems a bit odd that I have experienced My Longest XC Flight, Furthest XC Flight Flying a route where My Flight began with My launching My Predator from the: )Towers Launch) up on Mount Diablo. I pretty Much remained in the center of The Central Valley. Traditionally when Flying Cross Country. I would while on Glide alter where Y direction took Me so to be above a Hillside. Or I would adjust My direction so that I would end up Fly Above flat Ground where I would benifate regarding the contrast between Green Fields, and tilled brown soil. This what I did on the Flight that I have been taking about. Ok, I know that I bennifite d from Flying an XC Route that took Me pretty much straight down the CA Central Valley. mMy question to everyone is this: Why is so good when Flying down the. central Valley?

[Chris McKeon]

I am tired of only Flying in My Mind. I do want to only have the Mere opportunity to Once again Demonstrate to Myself, and John, and Who ever else is there Who will have the opportunity to Demonstrate that I am once again capeible of handling a HG. No matter how the Flight goes. I mean even if I do that Vile Foul act, even if I do remember how to Whack. I will Whack with a huge Smile on Y Face. I believe that I will need to give Mr a little remedial Flight Instruction regarding how to Whack a Glider. OK, can Everyone read between the Lines of this Post? I REALLY DO WANT TO FLY!

If the 5" hang glider is from the future then there may be a price to pay.
