Hang Gliding
Another one of my many hobbies is Hang Gliding. I started back in the early 90's. I quit flying for about seven years due to a combination of work, family and medical reasons. This year I resumed flying once again. At the first of the year I purchsed a Wills Wing Sport 2 135. I am in love with this glider and I'm sure it will bring me much enjoyment for years to come. Here is a picture of it from the day I picked it up at the dealers house.
In addition to Hang Gliding I also enjoy Amateur Radio. I wrote a small program when I was studing for my license to help me study the question pools. If you are interested you can download it for free using the link below.

I also purchased a Sanyo Xacti HD1A HD video camera to use to capture some of my flights. The camera has worked out great and the videos it produces are awesome. Here are a few videos I have created from the hours of footage I have captured. Most of these are reduced in size to keep the file sizes reasonable for downloading.
