Welcome
Sylmar is the world capital of hang gliding and pilots have been flying hang gliders in these mountains since 1969. The first U.S. National Hang Gliding Championships were held here in 1973. The Flight Park is located just outside of Los Angeles and we enjoy around 300 days of flying a year. Please check out the rules and site information before flying here.
Pilots and non-pilots are welcome to enjoy our flight park year 'round! Fly high, fly far, fly safe!
Thanks for visiting the Sylmar Hang Gliding Association's Web site.

Storage Tube Prices have been reviewed by the board of directors and the pavilion storage price has been set at $250/year. The prices have been reduced for "Box B" from $260 to $220 for the top row and $240 for the rest. The price for "Box A" remains unchanged at $200 per year. Those who store their gliders in Box B will have a credit applied to the following years rental. Ken Andrews will be updating the storage box information on the website to reflect these new prices.
The Sylmar strip mine is in the Daily News, with quotes from Joe Greblo and a reference to hang gliders who "soar like buzzards.
Pavilion Update - The metal roofing material has been ordered but delivery will be delayed 3-5 weeks because there are no blue colors in stock.

Hike, Bike, Fly
Yes or no? Hungary Joe is still working to make it happen this year. If it does, we will meet in the LZ at 8:00 AM and toss bikes and flying gear in the Suburban. We hike from the LZ to Towers, where Hungary Joe will meet us. Then we bike down and back up to Kagel, swap bikes for gliders, and fly home. It's not a race (unless you want it to be), so come on out for the camaraderie and exercise. If you're interested, please contact Hungary Joe for further details.
