On behalf of the Manquin Flight Park board, I have been tasked with reaching out to pilots who m...

Kitty Hawk Hangglider Spectacular 2025
I traveled to the Outer Banks on May 16 and 17 to attend the 53rd annual Kitty Hawk Kites Hangglider Spectacular, which took place from May 15-18. It was a fantastic day, May 17, and I had a lot of fun!

No, that Saturday you visited us the launch window closed around 2:00 pm. Despite not flying, it was a wonderful day on the mountain. Those who launched before 2:00 PM had extraordinary flights, and a few lucky ones who launched later benefited from thermals in the valley. I was hoping for glassy af...

It was an interesting day at Woodstock on May 18. I waited for 12 minutes before I found a launch window that didn’t have any west component. I want to thank Mark, William, and John for their help. I managed to reach an altitude of 4,000 feet despite the strong conditions. However, at that height, I...

Re: Crawford Mountain, Utah, 7/11/2024
I was initially planning to fly in Texas at Cowboy Up, but due to Hurricane Bari, I couldn't. Instead, we traveled up to the Rockies, visited national parks, and ended up flying hang gliding at Crawford Mountain in northern Utah. If interested, here is a "fast-edited" YouTube video of &quo...

I'm really sorry to hear this terrible news! George was such a wonderful person - always so kind and friendly. He would greet us hangis with a warm hug every time we saw him. This is such a heartbreaking day.

Re: Pulpit to Ravens Haven flight
Allan, With your amazing SKILLS, and in the pleasant seasons of a good spring, summer, or early fall XC DAY, you could easily cover more great distances. I attempted it once and managed to cover only 30 kilometers. However, I made a mistake by jumping over to the Ridge behind. Despite that, I don't ...
