I would like to announce the planned closing of Just Fly. It is with great sadness that I have made the decision to take my last step out of the hang gliding business. The only reason for this is that it's simply time to move on. My passion for hang gliding has waned over the last few years and so I have decided to exit the hang gliding arena. I am happy to announce that the guys at Highland Aerosports in Maryland will take over the distribution of the finest helmets made in hang gliding - the Icaro line - as well as other hang gilding gear that Just Fly offered. This will be a seamless transition as all of the Just Fly product line has been warehoused and shipped from Highland Aerosports (http://www.aerosports.net/) since 1998.

It has been a tremendous honor to work with companies like Icaro from Italy, Aeros from Ukraine, Firebird from Great Britain, Metamorfosi from Italy and Plastiqual from Belgium. I appreciate the business of each and every customer and dealer. I also would like to thank my original partner in Just Fly - Joe Greblo.

At the same time, I would like to give a big thumbs-up to all the hard working hang gliding entrepreneurs out there struggling to make their business work. It's a tough business and passion for it is about the only thing that can keep you going. You have my utmost respect. You are the only hope for our sports.

While not always being a very profitable business to engage in - hang gliding has brought to me - the best friendships a man could ever imagine. To all my friends out there reading this: You're greatly appreciated.
