(officially). As the unofficial US National Single Surface Champion (I won the
meet in 2010), I invite pilots to come on down to... mehr

Monique Werner lost her hang gliding gear in a fire when her house
burned. Let's get her back in the air. Does anybody have a glider laying around?
I think I have a harness that will fit her. Se is like 5 ft, 9 inches. She needs
everything, glider, harness, instruments, parachute. mehr
