Hangwind: April 2008
http://hangwind.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 24, 2008. I'm grounded, without a wing, not by my mother, by myself. It's not the same reason as last time, this time it is because I have a new son, he is eighteen months old and beautiful. My wife is new to my flying game and it's tough to return as she is not comfortable around launch and she really isn't into it. On the other hand, she gave me no restrictions, "Go! And it's really no problem but she isn't into it. I still have my flying life insurance so I'm good there.

Hangwind: October 2006
http://hangwind.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 08, 2006. I sold the wing to Ole in March of 2007. Ole calls it the "dirtybird" and even though it isn't dirty, I like it. You can read all about Ole at his web site in my links. February 10, 2007. I flew the Fusion and tracked the flight with my Garmin GPS and Google Earth (I use a Apple Computer at home). The wing flys straight and true, the trim is perfect, handling is easy, flys as I thought, a very slick wing. February 4, 2007. I'm hoping to fly it this weekend. January 13, 2007.

Hangwind: March 2007
http://hangwind.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 25, 2007. For a few years I had been reading about the antics of cross country pilots at home on the mainland. The year was 1983 and I had finally made my decision to learn to hang glide while I was living in Hawaii. I had already owned a hang glider and made my own harness (a plastic swing seat) but it was obvious to me that I was going to die if I continued. I would need a little professional help. True single suspension harness were here! I got my longest cross country flight in this har...

Hangwind: August 2006
http://hangwind.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 24, 2006. Cross Country hang gliding flight is a sport of "men" and although I think that is ridiculous, I do find some truth in that idiotic thought. Miles flown from launch, the farther you fly? The better you are? Yes, I can see through that rose colored shield but it just isn't the price I pay for admition into manhood. You see, I learned a very valuable lesson quite some years ago, to fly my own flights and I take that lesson to heart in my every day life. The Owens Valley was the m...

Hangwind: August 2009
http://hangwind.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 02, 2009. But I bought it knowing that it was still really fresh. For me, the desire to fly has to overcome the fear of injury and or death. I've flown enough to know what it takes to fly xc, far. I'm not willing to do that again. I'm going to be a boater and I'm cool with that. So for now, I'm keeping things in perspective, getting excited to fly again. Posted by Adam Trahan at 3:15 PM. Phoenix, Arizona, United States. View my complete profile. Michael F. Stringfellow.
