Video: 1976 Grand Canyon Hang Gliding Test
9 Feb
On May 9th, 1976, Grand Canyon National Park permitted a NPS approved Hang Gliding Feasibility Test that you can watch HERE. Amazing footage. There’s no sound, so try using the song below. (Thx BTBN)
Above are photos from the Arizona Hang Glider’s Association’s archive (not taken during the GCNP test). There are loads of old photos and newspaper clippings there, so go and take a peak.
what a heartbreaker.

The bottom pic is a Eipper Cumulus 5B . Painted by Mendij
That Eipper’s design is so cool, where is the glider now?
If you ever want to sell it let me know. I am a USHPA member and collect some of these old gliders that have these funky designs on them
