Hang Gliding Documentary "Big Blue Sky"
It is finally done and available! I'm posting this here because I
know a lot of old hang glider pilots spend their time in sailplanes these days. I've spent the last 5 and 1/2 years making this documentary about the birth of the first extreme sport, hang gliding. The running time is 78 minutes and features interviews with the pioneers of the sport, rare still images and never before seen film clips. Lloyd Licher, past Executive Director of the SSA tells how he almost lost his job while helping to organize this new sport, which he saw as the perfect "farm" for future sailplane pilots. Dr. Paul McCready tells about his involvement early in the sport and what it did for him. Many of the pioneers of hang giding tell their stories along with photos and flim of the events they describe. If you like soaring, you need to know more about the lost frontier of flight, the story of hang gliding in the 70s. www.bigblueskythemovie.com My apologies for the blatant ad, but I want to get the word to the old dangle diver dudes out there!
