It's now almost 50 years since the first flights in a hang glider were made in Canada, and 30 years since the first paraglider flights. It's high time we recognized the efforts of the early pioneers, and show case their early equipment and (mis-)adventures. This blog exists to record those early days before they are lost forever. If you have archival materials in your possession, bring it on! If you remember stories of the old days, share them with us! At this point, we're interested in anything that took place before the year 2000.
This blog exists in parallel with the Canadian hang gliding history Facebook group. If you post something here, we invite you to share there if you are a Facebook user. If not, don't worry. We want all the source material to reside on this blog so that no one has to use Facebook in order to access it.
