Early 70s Hang Gliding Part 2

Details regarding Torrey history in the video might be discussed
among other notes.
The narration is often not synched with the wings being shown.
E.G., Mark Smith's monoplane tailed HG is not narrated, and one might mistake the item for Kiceniuk.
One project here would be to still-sample clips and and give text to each wing.

Hi Joe,

That's a great little video clip. I recognize much of it from viewing Big Blue Sky.

I pulled out about 73 snapshots, and I'll email them to you shortly. For now, I've attached a few from that 73. They're not all from Torrey, but there are quite a few from the early days there.
