6/17/1979
In June 1979 a bunch of us became the first people in the world to fly indoors. We flew on three occasions. The first was to see if anyone would die. The next time we did it for press coverage and the third time to perform for the Annual Paper Airplane Contest. Pilot and Instructor, Michael Pringle showed up for the third occasion and wrote an article for “Hang Gliding Magazine” which was published in the August 1979 edition. Michael and the United States Hang Gliding Association have the copyright on the article. The magazine is no longer available but the article is by buying the electronic copies of every magazine ever published by USGHA and its subsidiaries. Mike was my buddy and if he were alive today, he would heartily endorse my reformatting, providing my own photos and publishing it on my blog.
