Two people died Tuesday on Kauai in the crash of a motorized,
seated hang glider owned by a company that markets itself to visiting travelers
even though federal regulations prohibit the aircraft from being used for tours
or thrill rides. The identities of the victims aren't known, Kauai County said in a statement. The light sport aircraft crashed on the side of a mountain near Polihale Beach,
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said. The site is in
Waiakamoo Valley below Kokee in the western part of Kauai, the county said. The aircraft an Evolution Trikes Revo is registered to Birds in Paradise
LLC, a company that advertises scenic flights for tourists billed as
introductory flight lessons rather than aerial tours. A message left on the
company's answering machine was not immediately returned Tuesday.
