Speaking of daredevils, about 4 years ago I was lounging at Tamarind Grove pool, so naturally I was looking up. Suddenly I saw a hang glider approaching from the south, then one by one another and another. Eventually I counted 31 hang gliders, I told everyone at the pool and they were drawing a big crowd. It was the most amazing sight, some of them circled around to allow others to catch up, which is why we could see so many all at once. They must of been up at about 1000' and once in a while you would see one dip down as if he were going to land only to ride back up to a decent height. How they could launch that many I wouldn't know, if they were using an aircraft that would take a lot of time.
I read in the Sun the next day they were flying cross country from somewhere around Lakeland to Ocala, but 2 or 3 who lived in TV landed in the TV. From my vantage point I counted 31, there could of been many more that I didn't see. I guess they were following 301 and then switched over to Buena Vista somewhere near where I was located just off 466A. It was quite a sight.
