Canadian National Hang Gliding Championships!

7/4/2015

1 Comment

 
The Freedom Flight School had to take a brief hiatus as the 2015 Canadian National Hang Gliding Championships were hosted at the Freedom Flight Park from June 28th-July 4th.  Twenty-seven pilots from all around the world, including countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Austria, U.S.A. and of course Canada took to the skies over the week long competition.  Some world class pilots experienced soaring the Okanagan Valley for their first time and were not disappointed.  Five out of seven days had valid tasks and pilots made goal on four out of the five days.  The meet happened to coincide with Canada Day and the United States' Independence Day so there was much to celebrate about.

For more details, check out the Lumby Air Force blog.

But the school and tandem flights are now back into full swing...so come on out and fly!
