New Hang Gliding Students Take to the Air

7/23/2015

0 Comments

 
A new batch of hang gliding students enrolled for lessons at the Freedom Flight School.  Linda from the Netherlands had previously spent about 20 days on training hills in Europe but was itching for her first high flight while Simone from Victoria, BC had never encountered a hang glider before.  Our very own paragliding instructor Dave Underwood decided to join in on the fun and hoped to finish the hang gliding lessons he took in Ontario 20 years ago in his quest to become “bi-wingual”.  The first morning instructor Terry had all 3 students practice with the massive Wills Wing Condor training wing on the small training hill.  The next morning was a repeat followed by some towing in the evening.  Linda was rewarded with her first high flight on the third morning and Dave had his first flight the next day after a trike flight with Randy to get a feel for flying the wing.  Simone is progressing very quickly with her lessons and will soon follow suit.
