Welcome
Sylmar is the world capital of hang gliding and pilots have been flying hang gliders in these mountains since 1969. The first U.S. National Hang Gliding Championships were held here in 1973. The Flight Park is located just outside of Los Angeles and we enjoy around 300 days of flying a year. Please check out the rules and site information before flying here.
Pilots and non-pilots are welcome to enjoy our flight park year 'round! Fly high, fly far, fly safe!
Thanks for visiting the Sylmar Hang Gliding Association's Web site.

Vintage glider fly-in
The Crestline Soaring Society is hosting a vintage glider fly-in on Saturday, August 14. If you've got a glider tucked away in the back of the garage, this is the moment to pull it out, shake the dust off, and fly it from whatever launch altitude seems prudent. For gliders that are better lawn art than aircraft, the Crestline LZ is a pretty nice display site.
There will also be an informal barbecue. See the forum for more information.
