Cost: Picnic and Party is $10 donation, or no charge for pilots who fly or who

Come to our Draachen Flug Tag * to help us celebrate the DFSC’s 10th season of
flying in Michigan! In addition to aerotowing, we will also be introducing our
new ground-skim scooter tow system for training.


With a 70’s theme, we will also be celebrating over 30 years of hang gliding in
the US. Bring your old 70’s gliders, and wear your old 70’s clothes.


We will have awards for:


Best 70’s glider

Worst 70’s glider

Most outrageous 70’s clothes/costume

Best bikini (why not?)


We will also have flying-related awards, for:


Most spot landings

Longest time aloft

Highest altitude

Most spectacular whack (without glider damage/injury)

Longest flight from the training hill

Oldest glider to ground-skim scooter tow


Big Joe, our neighbor, will cater this event (per our last chute clinic).
Saturday evening picnic/party will be held rain or shine. To help us plan for
Joe’s barbeque, please RSVP at 517.223.8683 or .
