I'm very sad to say that this weekend we lost the only Angolan Hang glidider pilot.

Justino Quissua, a.k.a. Bito Angola, 27 years old, suffered an accident when a glider, he was testing for a friend who wanted to learn, folded up in flight. The accident happened in the Huambo region, one of the many sites Bito was pioneering in his country.

Bito was very well known in Brazil where he learned to fly HG after starting off as a glider caddy in Rio de Janeiro where he also earned a College degree in accounting.
