@rentatrip1 I meant to reply to your comment long ago. Sorry for the delay. Yes, I have a bunch of 8mm film from 1972 - 1976. It's all been copied and a DVD given to Ken DeRussy for his hang gliding museum and archives. One of these days I'll sort through the video myself and upload the stuff here.
Classic Carl Boenish films on hang gliding and sky diving are available on a complete 2 DVD set, with all his copyrighted material digitally remastered and color corrected by the original producer,
Photo-Chuting Enterprises, Hawthorne, California, USA.
Here is your chance to suggest insert information,
packaging, order method, and value of receiving Carls
It was not uncommon in those days for the rigid wing hang gliders to have no seat system. I flew that way many times myself. No one was flying very high for very far normally. I'm surprised Mark even had a helmet on. He was smarter than many of us then!
Amazing ! How much did that weigh ?
