According to this sad news on the homepage of the HGFA website
http://www.hgfa.asn.au/ -
Sun Nickerson – the HGFA President died late on Sunday (29th Feb). He had been
taking part in the WA Hang Gliding State Titles comp and was found on the ground
and was taken to hospital by ambulance. This local media report appears to be of
the same event -

I didn’t know Sun, but he was good enough to phone me once re HGFA business. He
had been active on HG committees (state and national) for some years. He liked
making hang gliding videos and will be sadly missed.

It is with deep regret that I inform you of the death of Sun
Nickerson, HGFA President. It appears Sun suffered a stroke whilst flying in the
WA Championships yesterday. Sun has contributed greatly to the HGFA, serving on
the board for almost 6 years. His conciliatory approach has always helped calm
the waters of change and progress. He will be greatly missed by many. Bye Sun.,
all the skies are yours now.
