Hang Glider at Jockey's Ridge January 10, 2009

[sporty155]

Thats an old hang glider, not one you would normally see someone fly in 2009 in a place where flying that glider would be questionable at best. My guess is the pilot does not have an ushga rating?

My 2 cents worth...

Did look like fun tho :)

Quite the contrary, Kitty Hawk Kites conducts training here at Jockey's Ridge to earn the Class I USHGA license.  Check out the link under the description.

Sure you got the right glider there buddy?

Is that supposed to be a play on words or a serious question? He was able to stay up for about a minute doing what you see here. He didn't cover much ground, but he would climb and descend like this for another minute after the film stopped. It looked like fun!
