Some additional information given by pilot's public activity:
  • Over three decades of hang gliding ...




And we find to add interest:
  • " John Kangas is the weatherman for the King Mountain Championships and he ’ s also a hang glider pilot. While he has an aviation background that includes flying jets for the airlines and small planes in the backcountry, he says gliding is his passion. "

  • " To fly with no engine, to sustain your flight based on your feel, your knowledge of the sky, what you observe, what you ’ ve learned before and being able to apply it and continue to grow is … I think that ’ s a dream come true for people who have a passion for flying. And if you ever get a chance to experience it, it ’ s something you really never ever forget. We ’ re doing something man has dream doing for thousands and thousands of years.
