The Traffic at Torrey Pines Gliderport on a Light day, to say the Least,... Difficult in a Hang Glider ~

I'm Not trying to Shot Myself in the Foot , I Fly Both Paragliders & Hang gliders .
Each time I take a flight I feel so Lucky to have taken the time to Learn to Fly Both Disciplines. I have to spend tons of time training for this Dream. Its Sweet to Be able to Fly away from the Crowd at the Gliderport & Torrey Pines State Beach.

Gee Where did Al the Hang Gliders Go ~ Hummmm ~ Good Question ~
Flying Hang Gliders through the PACK has been increasingly more difficult, better be ready for lots of Students, Instructors, EGO's & Politics . Did I Mention Psycho Flight directors.

On the better day, Its still possible in A Hang Glider to bust thru the crowd & escape .
Its Safer & Easier to Bring it home Early through the Crowd ~ Trust Me ~ Oh & Careful What YOU Say ~ You Could Be Grounded ~
~ Like walking n Egg shells ~

I'd Tell Ya More But I Gotta check with MY Lawyer ..... Fly Safe

Where to land ~ Thats some hike ~ Not to bad with a Paraglider ~ But landing a Hang Glider on the beach could be a problem.
Carrying a Hang Glider Up the 350 ft. cliff trail could make you feel like Jesus Christ the 2nd ~ Be Sure to Stay aloft When You Launch.

A Safe a clean Landing On top is preferred, But Not Worth Getting Hurt ~ Fly Safe and land on the beach if need ~
~ Just ask Waldo ~ If Ya Landing on the Beach, Ya Better have some Help or Grow Muscles ~
