right on nate!
i've loved things aviation all my life...while in highschool a buddy and i became friends with this older fellow who we would see driving around with his hang glider stowed on the top of his van. a hold over from the hippy daze of the 60's, this guy was only too willing to share his knowledge and joy of hang gliding. we heard of gliders operating off these smaller ridges in this particular area of kauai, and you just didn't see this sorta thing back then here. (1979-80) never got a chance to explore hang gliding further though, and unfortunately someone expired while operating their gliders at that area mentioned. i left kauai for the airforce shortly after meeting this guy...
my buddy went on to become a multi-eng. rated pilot....
i got to fly in the back seat of F-4's
