Title: Children of the Sky, a film by Bob Riding
Description: A short film of hang gliding at Tollhouse, California (east of Fresno). I acquired this film from a friend, Roger White. I am not sure where he got it, but the film was made by Bob Riding.
I am not even sure when this video was made, but I would guess the late 70's, but the look of the hang glider's. I also noticed this is before anyone wore a parachute, as a backup.
I flew at Tollhouse myself, in 1978. I had eight flights there, and was just an intermediate pilot.
If anyone knows exactly what year this was, or knows any of the people in it, please let me know.
I don't know if this 8mm film had sound on the original film, but hen I had it converted to a dvd, it didn't, so I added the music here at Youtube.com
Last, if you know Bob Riding, please let him know of this video.
Does anyone know who the star of this video is?
The song is Dreamscape (long edit) by 009 Sound System. I did an audio swap here at YouTube.com, since the fim didn't have any sound anyway.
Thanks

Title: African Lion Safari, 1970, Burning Barn -- With Scary Music!
Description: Scary music accompanies some incredibly bad camera work courtesy of my grandmother, featuring children with no heads. A trip to the African Lion Safari in the summer of 1970, with lions eating raw meat; parachutes in the sky; and planes flying. The trip home included the thrilling sight of a burning barn, which strangely is the only thing I remember about the trip.

Title: T-38 four ship @ Williams AFB before graduation
Description: Shot with an 8mm handheld in 1968, one of the last sorties before my father's graduation from advanced flight school at Willams AFB, Mesa AZ
The undergraduate flight training program lasted just less than one full year and involved classroom, simulator, and aircraft training activities. Graduates went on to train in their primary weapon system aircraft or, after further training, were selected to remain as instructors.
Students proceeded from the academic phase of classroom and simulator instruction around the six-week point of the program.
Williams AFB was closed in 1993, September.

Title: Amplifyd: Dance Maria
Description: Way down in Mexico
I met a Latin beauty
her accent was thick
but her moves were flowin
I asked for her name
and she smiled and winked at me
she said it's Maria
and can I dance for you?
I said, Dance Maria, Dance...
her eyes were dark
as the midnight sky
with just one look
I knew I was in love
she captured my heart
when she danced for me
now I'm on my knees
and I'm beggin her please
won't cha Dance Maria, Dance...
lyin on the beach together
as we gaze at the stars
the roarin waves are silenced
by the poundin of my heart
this night we shared together
was the time of my life
with a tear rollin down my face
I kissed my love goodbye..
