Jonathan on his first high solo flight from the take-off at Stanwell Tops.

Curt assisting as he lifts off into free-flight freedom!

Tandem aero-towing instruction over the 2008 Easter Holiday at Tumut, NSW. This hang gliding technique, if performed/learned correctly, is an easy way to get a ton of AIRTIME. Here the student is laying side-by-side for some in-flight instruction. I've used this method at full-time flight parks such as Quest, Lookout Mountain Flight Park, Morningside Flight Park and Hang Glide Costa Rica. PHOTO: Olli Barthelmes

Chris, a Warren Windsports fledgling, launching in his new Moyes Sonic 165 hang glider. He's also sporting his new custom Moyes Contour harness. -very slick. -Great form as he's leaning into the launch as he gains airspeed before lift-off above Stanwell Tops.

Our friend Dee Kramer, of Dee Kramer Photography, snapped this photo of his wife Sharon and I. She was holding on TIGHT, with eyes closed (I'm guessing) but immediately relaxed and truly loved the tandem hang gliding experience.
