Who is ready to go flying somewhere?
WHERE ARE WE GOING FLYING?
This list is not comprehensive. It is simply some ideas of things some regional pilots are considering doing.
If you are having some event or fly-in at your club, please let us know at the Soaring Road Trip.
-Pilots, and interested people who want to fly can call me (Aron) at FL1-FLY-SOAR if interested in going flying or talking flying, sites, events, etc. -We sincerely welcome you! NOTE if you are interested in the sport of Hang Gliding and want to fly, you have some learning to do. The place to start is to visit www.USHPA.org/FLY and join as a student member, and join your nearest flying clubs. For a listing of Hang Gliding schools and clubs visit www.hangglidingflightschool.com
The plan to fly more sites/clubs is to contact the clubs we have never flown with ahead of time and join up and find out what the protocols are. Of course all the ideas listed below (besides the actual fly-ins) are weather dependent and may switch around as far as dates go.
