Rogallo Story from Oregon Visitors

Edward Geller and his grand daughter Keili are here from Oregon to take some hang gliding lessons. Edward knew and worked with Rogallo at NASA (when it was NACA). He says his grand daughter has been asking him for a long time about taking a hang gliding lesson, and so they came all the way across the country to KHK! Rogallo showed him his wing in his office in the early 1950's...and said that some day it would be built big enough for people to use as recreational gliders...this was in the 1950's! Mr. Geller is a part of the greatest aviation story in history, and we are very pleased that he trusted us to teach his grand daughter to fly. He hasn't flown in a few years, but is also back for some lessons. If the conditions allow, we will re sign him off on his ratings. At eighty years old, he is the same age Rogallo was when he took his last flights in a Rogallo wing, and tomorrow they are both going flying at our airport. Have fun guys!
