I remember years ago around here, I went to do a service call at a guy's house out in the Hill Country outside of town... and passed a hanggliding school.

I'd LOVE to try it, but I do have a little bit of a fear of heights. I have jumped out of a plane... so I think I could get over it.

A few years ago, I looked into equipment and such... it's not cheap to get into. A wing probably costs north of $2k nowadays... then you have newfangled goodies like GPS units, variometers and all kinds of jazz.

Maybe someday I'll check it out... Right now I'd have another problem - getting a glider around since my only drivable vehicle is a Boxster!
