Dr. Francis Rogallo,
inventor of the flexible wing and father of modern hang gliding (and sport
kites), accepts an award from John Harris in appreciation for his
tremendous contributions to kiting and flight in general. |
Winds were a bit up and

A gorgeous box kite built
by a French kitemaker. Sadly, the wind didn't cooperate enough to
keep this beauty in the air for more than 20 minutes or so. (photo by
