I want to say a huge thanks to you and all the generous competitors at the Big Spring Internationals. Over $800 was given by the competitors towards the rebuilding of our Dragonfly that was damaged Monday. Russell and Lori Brown are taking my broken Dragonfly back to Quest and Bobby Bailey for repair and I have Russell's Silver Bullet Dragonfly on loan in Colorado until ours is repaired! Once again the hang gliding community proves over and over to me that they are some of the best people in the world!

Thanks also to everyone who visited our tug pilot Tim Collard while he was recovering in the hospital in Big Spring. He was able to fly his small airplane back to Colorado Sunday morning with Wiley as his co-pilot. Tim was back at work today, much to the relief of his friends and co-workers.

We will be getting back to normal aerotowing operations in Colorado soon. I hope anyone planning a visit Colorado will stop in to fly with us. Check the Rocky Mtn Hang Gliding and Paragliding Assn message board for more information. Http://www.rmhpa.org/messageboard/
