I do fly PGs.  I've got dozens of take off and landing stereo views but 
nothing taken from the air.  You don't get much stereo vision from 
altitude (I've mentioned on the list before that from 2,OOO ft. a 150 
foot -- that's _15 stories_ -- ridge looks like a flat field.)  Down low, 
where stereo photos would be appropriate, you're always busy setting up 
for a landing and don't have time to let go of the controls long enough 
to take a photo, let alone fumble with a Realist.  That said.  I did just 
buy my 1st Realist (expensive, fragile twin rigs up till now), and will 
do some from the air PG stereo stuff this year.


My first Amateur Photographic Exchange Club stereo view was of a 
paraglider launching at Utah's fabled Point of Mountain flight park.  You 
can see that stereo view at the APEC web site:
