Hang Glider Tow Flights at Hollister, CA

These are two flights I made using Pat Denevans stationary tow set-up at Hollister, California. The camcorder was mounted to my cross-bar. On the first flight the winch got me to about 1000' above launch. On the second second flight I got to 900' AGL.

That is where I've been learning. Give them a call at (408) 262-1055 and go for an orientation on Thursday evening at the shop. That and some $ is all you need.

Wow cool! That was a bumpy ride, at 3:30 the vario sounds like an angry R2D2 :)

Bunelievable! Looks like so much fun. Used to watch em fly and hover in circular patterns over Cal-State Hayward in the 70's. Always wondered if its possible to fly one. Thanks for the killer vid.
