I hope you guys haven't seen this already,  but if not, this is old footage of me learning to fly in 1976.

That's entertaining!  Cool you have a video from so long ago.

I learned to fly in L.A., the training hill was called Rinaldi,
Which I am sure is long gone by now. 
One of the best flying sites in the San Fernando Valley was called Sylmar, but it is not used anymore,
Kagel is the latest launch and is much better and safer. 

I'm glad you guys got a kick out of it!
