One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet.  A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites.  Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal.  1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.

One of Brian's AirMasters was sent to the Sunnyvale Old Skool Kite Hospital for replacement of fittings and general tuneup.

This '97 Wild Child UL is stunning. The sail is in great shape. The old vinyl tube fittings had decomposed. Framed in Super Skinnies it's a very light UL and has quite a different personality to the G-Force SUL framed standard I had a few years ago.

I've had a great time flying the kite at Shoreline, where I first saw Brian fly it a decade ago. I only remember seeing it once back then, but it stuck in my head because it wasn't a Utopia or TrickTail, and because I hadn't seen a custom Betancourt in all it's glory before.

Thanks for everything Brian.

The albflyer.de link seems to be broken. The site is definitely there, but my German is noway up to exploratory navigation.
