Fort Funston Hang Gliding 2-27-11

A perfect "Spring" day at Fort Funston with smooth buoyant lift and crystal clear skies. Lots of gliders in the air enjoying the lift. It doesn't get much better than this at the Fort.

Too bad the camera can't cope with the full screen motion of landing.

It's not the camera's fault, the original video is perfect and much higher quality. I used a free converter to get the video into .wmv format and that's where the problem occurred. One day I'll find a better converter.

how much does one of these sweet mama jama's cost? and how easy is it to learn and find a spot to fly?

This glider is no longer in production. The original price (1998) was $7000. You should hold at least an intermediate hang glider rating before trying one of these and stick time in a sailplane is also helpful.

Saw you all up there today. It inspired me to look up some footage. Amazing shots. Thank you for the posting.

Wow what an awesome glider! Funston is so beautiful! Nice landing too by the way.

I could almost smell the boys token in the bushes every time you flew by.
