In recognition of the birth of modern hang gliding 40 years ago at
the Lilienthal Meet of 1971, I am organizing a fly-in at Torrey Pines on the
weekend of April 2-3rd, 2011. A third day in the local mountains will be added
on Monday, April 4th with sufficient interest.
Torrey Pines is a ridge soaring site located in beautiful San Diego, California,
USA. It is famous for early sailplane flying, hang gliding, paragliding, and
remote control gliders. The best season is typically in the spring with west
winds off the Pacific Ocean and beach thermals. Grassy setup area and top
landing make this an ideal site for demos and display.
Several manufacturers have confirmed that they will be participating with glider
demos. So far there will be gliders from Moyes, Icaro, UP, and Northwing.
A number of vintage gliders will be on display and if you have a cool one in the
rafters, bring it out.
So if you are thinking of a new glider this year, or are a vintage pilot, wear
your oldest hang gliding t-shirt and come on out. New pilots and 2nd generation
pilots welcome too.
