A hang glider over Mt. Everest is an amazing accomplishment as recognized by many mainstream magazine articles. You can read my account of this feat in two magazines: the 11/04 Kitplanes and the 2/05 Hang Gliding & Paragliding magazine published by the U.S. Hang Gliding Association (both will be posted here later). As this one example shows, the views are stunning; the articles are full of excellent shots. Hang glider pilot Angelo d’Arrigo was towed by trike pilot Richard Meredith Hardy in one of 2004’s genuinely “big” flights
