The Canadian Airforce really needs to stop sending their hang gliders to Bromont. We change sports in our Bromont coverage with news that the above gentleman landed his hang glider on the Bromont cross-country course this afternoon. He reportedly landed safely in a roped off spectator area. I spoke with him after he packed his hang glider up into that nifty backpack. He told me that he took off from a mountain about 20 miles away. He said that the goal of hang gliding is to get as far as possible and when he got above Bromont he lost the wind updrafts that give him loft. He picked his landing spot from altitude and said “it wasn’t until I got close that I saw horses running around, but it was too late to find another landing area.” All kidding aside, he was quite a nice guy and we’re happy that he landed safely. If you have any photos or videos of this mysterious hang glider please send them to [email protected]. Go eventing.
