Leonardo DaVinci said: “For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.” How right he was! Flying a hang glider is an experience unlike anything else, and, as daVinci predicted, hang gliding is highly addictive. For some it’s an adrenaline rush, but for many, it’s a peaceful, total-sensory recreational experience.
