Does USH"P"A know you are committing aviation on a hang glider? They won't be happy There is indeed plenty of USH"P"A-FREE air out there

Thanks friends!!! There is a lot of sky out there, but none of it should be closed to anyone for reasons of political revenge. USHPA has shown their true dark and ugly side ... and we're watching them like a hawk!!
