In 2012, the 39th annual Hang Gliding Spectacular and Air Games will take place in the Outer Banks town of Nags Head from May 18-21. As a spectator, you will see some of the world’s most experienced hang gliding pilots navigate an obstacle course of cones and turns, all before attempting to secure a perfect landing. Side contests include knocking down bowling pins during the landing and obtaining the most number of rings during the flight. If you enjoy excitement and adventure, fly on over to the Outer Banks to witness some amazing feats by amateur and professional hang gliders. Other events scheduled to take place during the Hang Gliding Spectacular and Air Games include a film festival, the Woody Jones memorial street dance, and the Rogallo Foundation Hall of Fame dinner and induction ceremony.
