lots of folks who had never seen anyone "jump" or "fly a kite" simply did not know what to think
and looked on like it was a daredevil circus stunt!

In the late 70's I was standing on a cliff, ready to takeoff with an Electra Flyer 205 Floater
and several pilots had just landed in the primary LZ.
And this older lady who was watching right off my wingtip said to me
"I see them all down in that same field, can you guide those things?"
And as serious as a heart attack I replied
"No mam, we have a big magnet buried down there in that field and
when we jump off it draws this metal frame to that spot.

And her reply was "well that makes sense, I thought it was something like that."

I spent 90% of my money on my hang gliding equipment and beer. I wasted the rest.

This one has always been my favorite, it has a "The Far Side" quality, but HG specific.

What's the difference between golf and hang gliding?

In golf you hear...WHACK, "s---"
In hang gliding you hear..."s---", WHACK.

True story. A pair of pilots went into Janey's Bar and whore house after flying up the Owens. As they were enjoying a cold one a lady of the night started chatting with one of the pilots. The Chat got quite friendly. After they left the bar. The pilot looked at the other and said " Hey, I think I could have picked her up." Must have been a Mormon?
