High Speed Rail will affect the SHGA
Don't make the mistake of thinking that the California High Speed Rail won't disrupt your hang gliding activities. You can play a role in if and when this rail line will blast through Sylmar, Kagel Cyn, or Big Tujunga Canyon. If you're interested, attend the following meeting in the valley. http://m...

Thanks Kat, Parachute Safety Clinic Quoted from Betty Pfieffer……... Every pilot flies with safety equipment. We know it’s there but we never want to use it. But how well do we understand it and do we know when and how to use it? What are the limitations of throwing a parachute and what should ...

Meeting at 10:30 in the morning in the lz (Saturday 4/2/16)
We need the biggest turnout ever for the Sylmar Neighborhood Council elections if we hope to re-elect those representatives that look out for us. Please get here early before flying (10:30) because we'll car pool over to the polls, vote, and get back for the 11;30 trucks up the hill. If you didn't a...

Absolutely a good point Greg. It's not possible to convince a substantial majority that this and other similar expressions cause any significant problems. As such, it should be left up to the individual. Those who wish to yell whack will, and those that don't won't. The discussion simply brings refl...

Mike Hayden's "Da Man"
Mike came by this morning and swept the entire SHGA Parking Lot. Boy are his arms tired.

Dan, Thanks for posting this. I've followed Diane's quest for bringing Sylmar up to the same fire protection standards as most other LA communities and she is to be congratulated for her hard work and findings. I sure hope a lot of our hang gliding enthusiasts can make it over to that meeting on Sat...

Our friends are asking us for help
Pilots, Several of our community allies have asked us to join them in signing a petition to encourage the Trader Joe company to open a store in Sylmar. The hope is that they will choose to move in to the soon to be vacant Fresh and Easy Market space behind Denny's Restaurant, and we would love for t...

I don't see where you've been properly introduced. Everyone say hi to Harry Martin; very famous pilot, originally from Sylmar, big big contributor to the SHGA, artist, cartoonist, author and of course really nice guy. You've seen lots of his cartoons in HGM, Oz Report, and almost every other HG peri...

I feel I must say it's unfair and unhelpful for anyone to accuse the USHPA or any of it's directors for playing any role in the loss of my commercial insurance policy at Dockweiler Beach. Quite the contrary, the USHPA quickly stepped in and put resources to work to try to assist me in remedying this...

Trying to find someone to blame is not helpful. The county needs to protect itself from liability and their requirements are not unreasonable. It's not their fault and it's not the fault of the rich haas or mark forbes or USHPA. It's no more than an unfortunate fact of life. People are working on wa...
