U.S. Hang Gliding Pilots

Mitchell ("Mitch") McAleer

Mitch McAleer is a pilot's pilot. Mitch has spent a lifetime perfecting the art of hang gliding and flight in general. My own knowledge of Mitch only scratches the surface of his accomplishments. This is just the first video I found in a search for "Mitch McAleer" and "hang gliding":



From my own direct experience:

• Mitch did almost all of the final sail work on "Little Hawk"
• I have witnessed Mitch perform amazing aerobatic feats
• Mitch endorsed my 2008 run for Region 3 Director
• Mitch has spoken up for justice in the sport of hang gliding for decades

Every human at every point in history has an opportunity to choose courage over cowardice. Look around and you will find that opportunity in your own time.

I think that I remember John and I were talking about Mitch. As I remember it. I believe that John said that Mitch was a good Aerobatic Pilot. And we all know that John would know if a Pilot could do a good Aerobatic routine. I just love hearing good thoughts such as this thought of John expressing how one Aerobatic Pilot's thoughts regarding another another Pilots ability to Fly Aerobatics.

This part of the reason that I just love Hang-Gliding. Flying well tends to bring out such good Vibes from another Pilot. This thought also makes Me think of that Phrase; {Birds of a Feather, Flock together}
