[edit] Summary
Back view of an early hang glider on a relaxed glide seemingly (but not actually) above the clouds.
The photo was taken in 1975 at Merriam crater near Flagstaff, Arizona. The pilot is Miles Fagerlie. The glider is a 17' standard "Papillion" made in May 1974 by the long-defunct company "US Hang Gliders Inc", Phoenix, Arizona. The purchase price at that time was $395 USD including the swing seat harness and a day of lessons. Estimated performance was a L/D of 4:1 and a minimum sink rate of around 450 feet per minute.
