The Hang Gliding Spectacular and Air Games is a true example of
what hang gliding is all about, fun! Originally named the 1st Annual Tactile
Meet, the Spectacular has endured over 40 years of continuous years of fun
flying, good times and the creation of life long friends. The competition is
scheduled each year during the third week of May. Over 60 competitors from all
over will travel to Kitty Hawk Kites on the Outer Banks of coastal North
Carolina to fly, party and meet old and new friends!

The fun starts out with three days of dune competition where the pilots try to
round pylons and spot land in the center of the target for points. If weather
permits, there is also a duration contest. Pilots will often compete several
inches off of the ground before setting up for the landing making the event very
exciting. We guarantee you will see some interesting flights and landings!

After three days of battling it out on the dunes everyone moves to the Kitty
Hawk Kites Flight Park at Currituck County Airport for two days of aero towing
competition. The event usually includes a duration and altitude contest mixed in
with a bean-bag bomb drop contest. The contest ends with a spot landing task
which is always fun to watch! They do change the tasks according to the
conditions which makes it fun for everyone! During the aero towing competition
there will be seminars and hang glider demos.
