 #1 |
So the Army sent me to Korea, I've always wanted to get into hang gliding and I now have the money to get into a new hobby. I love to fly, and I work on birds, I have hours in fixed wing but I wanna feel like I'm really flying. I wanna hang glide... But one problem no place seems to be open or around anymore, could anybody here in korea or somebody who was here help me out
Thank you |

 How long is your tour in Korea? You may have to wait, when you get leave and come stateside once again.
If by chance there is HG instruction there, there may be some what of a language barrier.
Good luck and keep us posted.  Thank you for your service.

| help is closer than you think. look for a weird looking freak on the flight line there in Seoul by the name of Chris Bodin. don't think you'll find another instructor closer...he'll perhaps be able to steer you in the right direction, |

hahahaha I'm in Bodin's company and see him daily! My interest in flying and his storys inspired me to look into it, and it seems awesome, but I kept asking him and apparently the person that he flies with is out of town (    ) so now I was seeing if theres any other way, I would love to get lessons by him tho, you can tell he really loves flying, if you know him, tell him Ian Souders told him to get his stuff together and start flying again, but if there is anybody else out there that knows where I can go please help out and point me in the right direction |
