Scenes from my first mountain solo hang gliding flight since ~1980. 90 minute flight in broken up thermals flying a Wills Wing Sport 2 155. Best climb was a 1,700' gain from 3,300' in one thermal in 7 minutes. I edited this showing me taking still photos then added the stills. I hope you enjoy it!
Tony D. speaks about his flight after he lands his A*I*R Atos at Andy Jackson Airpark in San Bernardino, CA after 5 hours and 109 miles of soaring from Pine Mountain in Ventura, CA. He did this in honor of the late Rob Kells and Andy Jackson during the memorial fly-in, September 6, 2008.
Some scenes from my hang gliding flight off of Crestline on 9/6/08 @ the Andy Jackson/Rob Kells Memorial Fly-In. Climb to 7,400' and some scenes from the LZ. This was my second mountain flight in 28 years and my best flight ever.
Hang gliding above Crestine during the Andy Jackson/Rob Kells Memorial Fly-In. Enjoying the beautiful panoramic scenary from 5,900' and wondering why you weren't up there too. I'm flying a Wills Wing Sport 2 155.
