    The BOD of the SHGA was made aware of an incident on 3/1/25 involving a longtime H2 rated pilot. This incident is actively being investigated and reported at this time was, the pilot launched Kagel and was seen flying towards the Sylmar club LZ at a low altitude. It appeared the pilot encountered sinking air, was unable to make it to the club LZ, and crashed his hang glider after what appeared to be a brief downwind to crosswind turn north of the club LZ , south of Gavina st. Pilot was taken to the hospital to be evaluated.

    Thanks for the reports, Tim.  It doesn’t seem like a lot of people check this forum, but I appreciate the posts.
