Buffalo Mountain Flyers of Talihina, Inc. received a grant from
the Free Flight Foundation last year for a two year multi-site improvement
project in the Ouachita Mountains of Southeast Oklahoma. To date we have
completed the new SSE launch at Heavener, OK, completed revamping the Little
Yancy launch near Red Oak, OK, and have been working on two new launches at
Buffalo Mountain near Talihina, and "PG Point" near Panorama Vista on Talimena
Drive.

We are currently trying to raise the additional funds we need to complete the
new launch at Buffalo Mountain. Dozer and track hoe are needed to remove a large
number of remaining trees, along with some additional landscaping. The work we
are doing will make these launches both hang glider and paraglider friendly.
I've included a few photos showing the work that is in progress. The aerial
photo shows the dozer work that was started last year. The other two photos are
looking SE off the new launch and SW with the LZ in the background. If you would
like to donate toward our efforts to improve the Buffalo Mountain launch, we
have both a mail-to address and PayPal donation link at
http://buffalomountainflyers.org/html/projects.html. Thank you for whatever
amount you may be able to donate!
