Thanks for plugging the 35th annual Hang Gliding Spectacular at
Kitty Hawk Kites this May 18-21. As usual, the Fun Zone will be in full swing,
and we’ll commit low and slow aviation that is the root of all hang gliding.
It’s always a kick-in-the-pants good time, but this year will be a bigger deal
than usual: We’re putting together what promises to be the biggest instructor
reunion ever.


We’ve contacted over 120 current and former KHK instructors, and most of them
are making plans to attend. Former KHK instructors include such luminaries as
Jim Johns (formerly of Western Hang Gliding in Marina, CA), John Ryan (formerly
of the Hang Gliding Center of San Diego), Matt Tabor of Lookout Mountain, Steve
Wendt of BlueSky, as well as past national champions Tom Haddon, Paris Williams
and Bo Hagewood. Even famous meet-head David Glover was a KHK instructor. The
instructor alumni web site is
http://www.khkalumni.com/.
Hopefully the word will spread and your readers will help us locate more of the
200 or so former instructors still listed as “missing.”
