Hang Gliding Stories from Florida Ridge Pilots:
Our Winter vacation in February took us to a new Flight park called The Florida Ridge and here we met many new friends and had a wonderful time. Although I did not obtain any personal best flights I did have two flights of over 30 minutes but Greg Fisher of Chicago skied out both days that we were there having over two hours each day and gobs of altitude on a rented Wills Wing U-2, Wow, that Greg sure can fly. Dennis Stone took us on a bike ride along the Okeechobee canal which was very interesting and his home on the water is great.
