Welcome


We want to welcome Sara Anderson to the KHK team. She has joined the marketing team as our new graphic designer. She was able to get her first hang gliding lesson in last week and did great. We had awesome conditions...sunny with east winds at 10mph. She took advantage of the conditions landing almost all her flights on her feet.

Joining her was Nick Barrett our event coordinator, who already has his Hang One rating. He also had some awesome flights. He flew multiple times from the top of the east dune. He'll be working on his Hang Two rating this summer.

Nice work guys!

Congrats to Byron!

Byron now has his hang one and a brand new falcon 3 195 with custom colors and a speedbar, great job Byron! Mason also got signed off recently and is on his way west to continue working on his hang 2...welcome to hang gliding guys! It seems like hang gliding is starting to experience a bit of a resurgence, and just in time for the spring season. Soon we will be towing up again at our airport so don't miss out!

Happy Easter Hang Gliding!

Happy Easter! It feels like summer on the outer banks, classes have been booked solid and we have had a lot of students earning their hang ones and quite a few who are almost there! Congrats to Mason Almeida, a recent nomad from the big city, on becoming a pilot. We even have a returning student who earned his hang two by soaring jockeys ridge...in 1978! His instructor was John Harris, so welcome back and good job keeping track of your logbook for the last 32 years!
