Hang Gliders in the Dunes

Posted: January 1, 2016 at 3:00 pm

July 15. 1975 Hang gliding in the Wanda Sandhills. It wasn’t long after the invention of the hang glider that all sorts of flying adventurers were launching themselves off the Wanda dunes. Most times the sand made for a soft landing, but occasionally crashes would happen. At least back then there was plenty of open space around to land.  Tim Vanderlaan Photo.
