Mike Fonseca, President of First Flight Society, and documentary producer Clay Johnson met in Nags Head to discuss Wingman, a documentary Johnson is producing about the life and career of aviation pioneer Francis Rogallo.  Also in attendance were Debra Torrence, the project’s development director, FFS administrative assistant Jennifer Hill, FFS bookkeeper Erika Paynter and Billy Vaughn, manager of Kitty Hawk Kites Hang Gliding School who is writing a book about Rogallo.

The meeting was a chance for everyone to get to know one another and discuss fundraising and marketing strategies for the production moving forward. FFS is the fiscal sponsor for Wingman and will help submit grants and manage and disburse funds for the documentary production.

First Flight Society President Mike Fonseca constructed and launched a website for the documentary Wingman, a one-hour television documentary that will tell the story of aviation pioneer Francis Rogallo. FFS is partnering with Clay Johnson Productions on the project. The website includes a GoFundMe page which has been set up to raise initial funds for the production to capture key interviews with Rogallo’s family, friends and colleagues while that is still possible.

Fonseca has also set up a Facebook page for the project called “Wingman – Francis Rogallo Documentary.” The page will provide information and updates about the production.
