The session will include parachute inspection, guided repack, simulated deployments while suspended from glider control frames, and seminars on the care and theory of parachutes as used by the hang gliding community. Our lives may literally hang on the condition and proper use of our 'chutes, so don't miss this opportunity to receive quality instruction from the people who design both the parachutes and the harnesses which contain them.
(If you haven't noticed, these are the two top people in their field in the country)
Facilities: We have the use of a beautiful cafeteria with all the long tables in it, and a gymnasium right down the hall. We can probably have 6 to 10 parachutes being stretched out and folded at a time, and four gliders suspended from basketball backboards for simulated deployments.
From Route 140: Head NorthEast on route 27 near Westminster. Take the first right on rt 482. High school is on the right by water tower.
Route 140 becomes rt 16 in Pennsylvania, and 795 out of Baltimore.
From I-83: Take the Hereford exit (Mount Carmel Road) and at the end of the ramp turn west to follow route 137. After about 10 miles jog north on route 30, then east on route 482. High School is on left by water tower after Hampstead.
