60-Year-Old Man Killed In Hang-Gliding Accident

LOS ANGELES A 60-year-old man died in a hang-gliding accident near El Cariso Golf Course, according to a city fire official.

Authorities received reports of the accident at 2:55 p.m. in the 12000 block of Gridley Street, said d'Lisa Davies of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

I'm pretty sure I put the nosecone on my UltraSport before I launched, but it wasn't there later in the flight. I did a couple of sets of wingovers after launch, so it's possible that it came off after/during those, but the velcro was by no means worn out. I launched Crestline at 14:45 on Sunday, June 22, 08. There were a number of other pilots at launch, and I was the first to launch. None of the pilots I later asked said they had seen it. If I left it on the ground it was windy enough that it might have blown into the parking lot. Maybe some spectator kid found a funky new hat.
