    @braymanj Hi B.J. – Great to hear from you, and thanks for the nice comments. Those were some great days, camping out on top of Mag and Nebo, flying every chance we got. I miss those days. Keep watching, I should have more videos before long.

    Hey Jim- It’s great to see that you’re still up there. I had a lot of fun flying and camping with you Arkansas boys in ‘86, on my vists from St. Louis and Chattanooga. I’ve been grounded since ‘91, due to a back injury, ( non-flying ), but I am happy for the rest who can still taste the freedom of flight. God, you can’t imagine how much I envy you. Enjoy and savor every minute of flight, ’cause time has a way of sneaking up, and clipping your wings. – B.J. Schulte P.S. Love your videos!

    Ah yes, Pachelbel, yes, that is hang gliding for me too. Beautiful air to air work, well done. It’s not easy to get that sort of footage. Now you must come to the dark side, get a powered harness for you to experience perfect HG freedom!

    I usually like trance music when I’m up in the air, but I’m going to try classical after watching this!
