 #1 |
| I started flying in 1971 and was as addicted as anyone could be. As luck had it, my home for many years was Salt Lake City and 'The Point of the Mountain'. Many many years passed with the focus being flying and family. Sometimes I think in that order. I'm curious to connect to people that flew during those days. See you in the wind... |

| The only guys I can think of who have been here since the 70s are Larry Hall and d*** Cheney. Neither of them fly hang gliders anymore but d*** is still running his sail loft and machine shop. |

Didn't Dan M. fly in the 70's? Maybe not in Utah, though.

Hi Chuck and welocme to the forum?
You wouldn't happen to be Charlie B. who moved from Colorado to Salt Lake a long time ago would you?
I started in 1976 in Colorado, been to the point many many many times. Back then we called it the mecca! Charlie and Gil Kenzie moved there from Golden way back then. I used to fly there occasionally with Dave R.
I'll be back there this summer - maybe we'll connect then,
Rich |

Chuck,
I camped on the Point for a dozen years (air junkies can't do that, now; it's a state park). See if any of my old gliders rings a bell for you:
http://www.xmission.com/~red/history/history.htm
Steve (Bigfoot) R. is still here,
Gil (Kama) K,
Jeff (of the Utah Cup) R,
the Wheatley boys,
and a few others.
http://www.anywho.com can find anybody with a listed phone, if you know what state to search in.

Welcome to the forum, Chuck 
Good to see another 71' crew member. I was with the San Diego Boyz.

Thanks for all of the positive feedback. I remember Larry Hall and Klaus in Morgan. Charlie Baufman...I haven't heard were he is. I was a local in SLC for many years. I flew all those strange configurations that we were all experimenting with. I was a H4-Observer when the rating systems first came out. Rich..I like your photo of Dead Horse Point. I had a very similar
launch there in my fledgling. Red, I do remember your visits....Regards, Chuck Moore |

Isn't that from Alex launching at Mineral Bottom (see the Jeff OB videos)?, not Dead Horse?
