"... why I was so keen to fly Torrey. Well, I've wanted to fly
Torrey for the last 16 years. Ever since I first saw a photograph of a modern
hangglider on the cover of Hanggliding and Paragliding Magazine, sometime in
1993. It was John Heiney flying upside-down on an all-carbon airframe black and
rainbow UP TRX 140, high over Torrey Pines. That image will remain preserved in
my mind in HD, forever.
As we packed up I suddenly realized that John Heiney was breaking down right
next to us so I made sure to go over and shake his hand.
