Francis Rogallo
Not sure of the correct forum for this but thought it would be remiss not to acknowledge the passing (Sep1 at 97 years) of the gentleman who gave us the flexible wing and the hang glider. He and his wife came up with the concept during the 1940s. First manned hang glider flight believed to have occurred in 1961, and Rogallo took up the sport himself at the ripe age of 62. Without doubt he gave wings to thousands, if not millions. RIP
