Hang Gliding and Friendships

I’ve never been one for making much publicity, but this season has changed. I have done a new website (www.deltaplanobiposto.it), I am doing more publicity on Facebook and am having more of a presence on top of one of the most beautiful hang gliding sites in the world, Monte Cucco.

For sure, the beauty of free flight is something that never leaves you. At times you can just think of a particular flight and a smile strokes your soul.

However, at the end of the day the friendships one makes are even more important  than the actual flying itself. In the last few years I’ve been privileged to meet some great people, my comrades in flight. These great friends have trusted me to take their wives, girlfriends and children tandem flying. They are always there to help out. I think their main reason is that they want their family and friends to understand them a little better; to understand that sometimes you just need to leave the ground and take off!!

The closest that they can get their loved ones to sharing the feeling that hang gliding brings to them is to let them experience it for themselves.
