Goss, who turned 89 earlier this month, never left the skies he
once helped patrol for his country, trading his B-17 bomber for a variety of
private aircraft, eventually leading to his hang glider, which he still flies
solo at least two days every month at the Wallaby Ranch in Central Florida.

He was recognized three years ago by the Guinness Book of World Records as the
oldest active hang glider, a record to which he continues to build.

His concessions to age still rankle him, yet he knows how far he can push. He no
longer jumps off cliffs and mountains in other parts of the country with his
hang glider, preferring the more controlled starts he gets with a tow. He gave
up racing motorcycles almost 10 years ago. He no longer sky dives or goes deep
sea diving with friends. He stopped wind surfing shortly after he closed his
dental practice at age 82, leaving behind patients of 50 years. He stopped
making his annual week-long trip to Guatemala, where he provided free dental
care to Indians in the poor parts of the country.

Although flying a hang glider is considered relatively safe, he has had his
share of close calls since starting almost 36 years ago. There was the broken
ankle, the skull fracture, the four different times he landed in trees when he
missed his approach, once leaving him in a swamp where he spent the night before
he was rescued in the morning.

One crash resulted in a gash on his head that was closed by another flier with a
staple gun to stop the bleeding. Through the years, he has flown from the beach,
behind boats, off mountaintops and across hundreds of miles in competition.
