World Championships, a day off

Today's hang gliding, Task 7
Here's what we do when it's too windy for a hang gliding task:
Above: World record holder Klaus Ohlmann and I, flying his spaceship through the local Alps
Below: Dustin and "owning" the airship, when Klaus wasn't looking.
How many hang gliding tandems would it take to earn $300,000 USD?
Klaus was very good to Dustin, Conrad, and I.... taking us each for a 2 hour blaze through the guts of the mountains, lee-side included.
It was world-class fun, but still couldn't rank as high as HANG GLIDING:
Fresh-air in the face.
Shade from the sail above
Weight shift controls
Comfortable harness, no compression on my spine.
and so on....(trust me)
