Sandia Sojourn - After leaving Albuquerque, New Mexico 13 years ago, I return as a hang glider pilot with the goal of flying the spectacular Sandia Mountains. From the November 2004 issue of Hang Gliding Magazine.
How Did I Get Into This? - Was it an intense desire to fly like a bird? Was it a friend who talked non-stop about his wonderful experiences in the air? In my case, the way to enlightenment was via random chance while vacationing halfway around the world. Originally published in the December 2000 issue of Hang Gliding magazine.
Glider-Cam: Amateur Television Flies on a Hang Glider - A description of a 439 MHz. live television transmitter for hang gliding that was described in the November 2000 issue of Hang Gliding magazine and the Spring 2000 issue of Amateur Television Quarterly. A seminar on this subject was presented during the ATV forum at the 2001 Hamvention in Dayton, Ohio.
Hang Gliding at the Local Elementary School - Originally published in the January 2002 issue of Hang Gliding magazine, this article tells the story of what happened when I brought my glider and equipment to "Career & Hobby Day" at my son's school.
