Pilot with Paraglider Research Vehicle 1 (Paresev) on tow in 1962.
A normal flight was a takeoff on the dry lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base and a circling flight path skirting the lake edges to insure a landing on the lakebed in case of a towline failure. Release altitude was normally 10,000 to 13,000 feet. Data was obtained on the glide part of the flight.February 5, 1962NASA Photo / › Read Paresev Project Description
