Paragliding is just one
amazing sport, with so many different people over the world getting connected
through one medium, "The Air" and all that it lures. In this section a
couple of stories is presented, from different write-ups from some fellow
birdmen.
One particular story of
interest is that of the CAPE VULTURE, where Jörg and Maria Diekman, a couple
living on a farm close to the Waterberg Mountains, have gone the extra mile in
organizing a free-flying event with the aim of raising funds to save the almost
extinct Cape Vulture. More details of this can be found on their website - http://www.restafrica.org/
