Welcome to the Hanggliding.Org Flying Site Guide.
This is a collaborative effort by pilots from around the world. If you do not see your site listed, feel free to add an entry for it on this page. A site template has been created for helping you quickly setup a page, and provide a common page structure. If you see something that needs changing or expanding, jump right in. Additional help is available at the bottom of each page when you are editing. Do not worry about messing anything up, since every version, of every page, is saved in the wiki, which makes it very simple to roll back to a previous version. If you need more information, please post your question in the forums.
