FYI:
A majority of the Board of Directors of the Friends of Dockweiler Gliding Society has voted for Sunday, May 22nd. to have a gathering of hang glider pilots and other enthusiasts, old and new, in celebration of the 168th birthday of Otto Lilienthal and the 45th anniversary of the beginning of the worldwide sport of hang gliding. To be held at the historic hang gliding site at Dockweiler Beach, El Segundo, CA, under the site operation authority of Windsports and sponsored by the Friends of Dockweiler Gliding Society. 10:00 AM to sunset. There is an L.A. County beach parking fee.
Bring your vintage hang glider for display or flight. Modern hang gliders welcome based on space available, vintage HG take priority. There will also be sharing of some gliders (a common practice at Dockweiler). Paragliders are not allowed by county ordinance.
We need to start spreading the word to all we know who might be interested, because the date will come up fast.
