Im 60 years old now, and there is a shot of me taking off in my green Rogallo. This sure brings back lots of memories. Great job saving these shots.

This was a pilots old footage, Andy. He is still flying. Come up to Mingus over labor day weekend, there will be aprox 50+ hang gliders in the air you will know many.

Fascinated growing up watching these guys in the 70's I entered hang glding at 16 until age 32. Was at Mingus memorial day 2011 talked with some of the Hang pilots I think I'm hooked again. Thanks putting this up.

We've come a long way baby. Makes me want to get down on my knees and thank the team at Wills Wing for giving us something terrific to fly.

Every time I see a standard (rogallo) wing fly, all I can think of is 3 words... "Full Luff Dive".
