Niki1 2 #4 September 24, 2010 The video was really pretty and graceful. I would've been more impessed with the achievement if it had taken off under its own power instead of being towed. The Gossemer Albatros took off by itself but it did have a real cycleist/athlete flying/powering it. Still way cool.Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
