Early Daze of Hang Gliding - Northern California

Whoa. Amazing dose of nostalgia on this one.

[@randywycoff8845]

Who's flying the Stratus V at the end---Jerry F. or Jim L.----? Any footage from Clear Lake?

[@penrynbigbird]

I don't know who the pilots are in the Indian Valley footage. Maybe someone who watches this can ID them. No footage from Clear Lake. If you have contact info for Jerry F (?) or Jim Lynn, send them a link to this clip and see what they say...

Is that Robert knuckles flying?

[@penrynbigbird]

I'm not sure where you think you saw him - give me a timeframe and I'll check again. Did you know him? He passed recently at the age of 68 ;(
