Bjørn Hammer’s Hang Gliding Page. Hanggliding, gliding, and related stuff. Aeros Viper harness experiences after one season.

Further, I think that my initial assessment still holds. First a...

Adventures in Hang Gliding. Friday, October 31, 2014. A Day at the Beach with Tom and Tom. I drove to Cape Cod hoping for a soaring flight in my new paraglider. However the wind was too strong for a rookie like me. Luckily, I brought along a hang glider! I setup, launched, and bounced around the dunes for about an hour. I patched together a short video of our flights, including a couple shots Tom got of seals swimming along the shore. Flights: 1, Duration: 0:60. Posted by Tom Lanning. Links to this post.

Adventures in Hang Gliding. Saturday, July 11, 2015. I'm slowly progressing towards my novice paragliding rating at Morningside Flight Park. Mid-day is too turbulent for newbies like me so I setup my hang glider for an afternoon break after flying the paraglider on the hill in the morning. I found a good line of lift just south of Claremont. I climbed to the southeast and would fly upwind to the northwest and snag another. Jon climbing lower left, Jake approaching from Ascutney. Here is the video,. I had...
