The last scene is quite nice. I hope I'll still be flying at that age!

Here she comes ...





And there she goes ...



That launch reminds me of "The Crawfords" where I've flown with some of the Tooele Hawks. It's got a flat green valley like that with a river meandering through it.

Great find Scott!!

Go, Go Granny Go

In looking at the video, I didn't notice it. But, by way of Bob's screen captures, . . . Granny has VERY GOOD hand placement form! Even if all she is doing (in reality) is running with the glider.

I'd expect that she got "professional" training in order to look spot on. And, I've got to give the (not young) actress credit for pulling it off.

I wonder who would be credited with being the hang gliding technical adviser? I'd expect that he or she was also the "real" pilot as well.

Bill, don't worry about the tooth fairy. You're not still losing your teeth, are you? But hey, you know the real story on Santa Claus, right?
