Here is where to find HG instructors and HG schools in the USA: http://www.ushga.org/whereto.asp and there are a few more good links, at the bottom of my web page, linked below. -- (Replies *will* bounce, unless you delete the letter A from my email address) Cheers, Red ************************ P.S. Free advice, and maybe worth the price, for new and low-time HG pilots, at my website: http://www.xmission.com/~red/ "DanHak" wrote: Quote: As a 17-year-old male living in Long Island, New York i've had a secret lifelong desire to take up the relatively unusual hobby of hang gliding. despite my best efforts, i haven't been able to find any decent information regarding how and where to get started in my area, etc. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

There's a lot of hang gliding in upstate NY, closest place to you I think is Ellenville, and there is a school there. It's about 60 miles from NYC, IIRC. -- Steve Uzochukwu, Avian Amour and Windtech Quarx. http://www.steveu.org/ The UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.net/faq/index.html *************************************************************** Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AirTalk.org Forum Index -> Hang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flight All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Aviation----------------alt.aviationAviation safety EnhancementPlanes, gliders and flying in AustraliaAviation et pilotage (Français)rec.aviationAviation (Aerobatics)Hot air, gas balloons and airshipsHang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flightAircraft Design & BuildingInstrument Flight RulesAviation (Classifieds)Military AircraftNaval AviationAviation (Miscellaneous Topics)Owning AirplanesAviators (General Discussions)Aviation related productsAircraft RestorationHelicopters and rotary wing aircraftsFlight SimulationSailplanesAviation (Students)Light aircraftFlying related activities in the UK Airports----------------alt.airportsEdinburgh Airport Glasgow Airport Humberside Airport Luton Airport Aberdeen Airport Glasgow Prestwick Airport  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
