Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

edited 6.20.2018

Even if this video was made in jest, there are alot of dumb people in this world that are heavily influenced by what they see in the media. With just the wrong mix of drugs, mental instability, firearms, and hang gliding, and what could we have?

FYI If you want to avoid watching this video which gives it view counts, which I wish I would have, it is just a sequence of Chuck shooting a gun, and common unrelated hang gliding crashes from the internet.

Of all the things that can threaten our safety while in the sky, I am glad we are not worried about this, nor do I ever want to be. Garbage.

Take two of these and you'll feel better by the morning.

Aww, c'mon. As dead as this forum's been, the last thing I would do is discourage anyone from posting anything. I thought it was the funniest thing I've seen on here in a long time. I can't turn on my TV for 5 minutes without seeing someone get shot so I wouldn't worry too much about that video.

I may be responsible for all this by posting a video 7 years ago of a flamethrower bringing down a paraglider entering restricted airspace.

My source of inspiration was a radio show called Coast to Coast with host Art Bell back in the 90's when a caller claimed to be flying a Cessna into restricted airspace of Area 51 in Nevada and get shot down by an F-16 live on the radio.

Moral of the story: be familiar with your local sectional chart.
