Trigg Adams, one of my dearest friends. Adventurer, sailor extraordinaire, aviator & wild man! My ideal.

Wow ! What is that thing he's in?

Ben,

Superb moment captured.

rickp13 · 07/20/08, 06:41 PM

looks like a photo from the lifestyle pages of GQ! cigar, big grin, experimental glider up front and a 996 waiting for him when he lands. the proverbial long-legged girl is missing, but was probably in the loo.

cheers

Hi Ben,
What a great looking man! All he needs are some wings.
Excellent (and amusing) image.
Is it your Porsche 997 Carrera in the back?
All the best
Ruben

Fantastic capture and portrait. Is he actually flying in that thing?

Here are my friends SEALING THE CRYPT on me !. This experimental single glider belongs to my friend Trigg. He also has a 2 person glider inside the hanger (to the right). This area is a small enclave for aviation buffs. They all bought a lot of land south of Miami, built weekend homes there, including a communal airstrip & hanger. Can guess how this got used 30 years ago! Anyway Trigg tried to get me fitted for flight, but I think you guessed my response from my hand signal. This image was taken by my wife with her Leica C-Lux.

Ivan & Ruben, Rick is correct. This is an Experimental Glider. The wings are in the hanger. Trigg was getting ready to bring it down to the Keys. The man on the right held the record for the most transatlantic flights for many years.

Transatlantic flights??? Surely you do not mean in a glider??? I think I am about to feel dumb.

WmAl · 07/22/08, 07:27 AM

Ben: Great portrait!

rob_x2004 · 07/22/08, 08:15 AM

jplomley · 07/23/08, 03:22 AM

Too cool for words.

WPalank · 07/23/08, 04:49 AM

Outstanding Ben. What a character! That's my exact car in the background #1, color, everything. Who in your crew has such excellent taste?

William, that was my wife's car. On Memorial Day, I was T-Boned and the car is no more. Sad day. We loved this car better than our earlier 911 Carrera Convertible. The tiptronic was awesome. The car saved my life, so I'm grateful. Gratefully, my wife wasn't in the passenger seat. She's still in mourning.

WPalank · 07/23/08, 05:41 AM

Ahhhhhhhhhh......
That's how we roll Ben, that's how we roll!
