    Well, I’m happy to be the first!
    Greetings.
    I thought I’d take a moment to introduce myself.
    I’m a Hang I, returning to the sport after aerotowing in Michigan, 22 years ago.
    I’ve spent all this summer on the dunes of Dockweiler, racking up about 180 launches under my belt.
    Hoping to practice a few flights on the Andy Jackson training hill this weekend, since the temperature will finally be less than 146 degrees.
    Should be fun!
    Perhaps I’ll see some of you out there.
    Take care!

    Hello, Bille. You launch hang gliders and paragliders with fake legs? Impressive!
    Since the beach spoiled me with steady 6MPH to 13MPH winds making launching and landing so easy, I was nervous that low wind flights may be a challenge.
    But if you run fast enough to launch the AJX training hill with fake legs, I have no excuse!
