About
Retired older pilot, now back into hang gliding after long break, but it is like riding a bike, having some good fun now on the dunes looking to get back onto thermaling site soon. I have in the last 12 years however, still been in the air but solo in full size sail plaines, so my brain still only thinks flying.
