Gliders see our shores as tops for soaring.
Windsocks dot the property, continual indications of wind speed and direction.
In keeps alive a long tradition of hang gliding on the Outer Cape, detailed in a feature article by George Ferris, one of the participants, in the October issue of Hang Gliding magazine, a publication of the U.S. Hang Gliding Association. Hesselback shattered the record, flying for nearly an hour, to the delight of the celebrating crowd. The next day he soared for nearly five hours. Ferris writes about two hang gliding schools started in 1927 by the American Motorless Aviation Corporation at the urging of J.C. Penny, Jr., who summered here. The first was at Corn Hill.
