Fort Funston Hang Glider Field Trip

Story by Burr Preston

The orange windsock at the hang
glider site indicated perfect winds for
flying. Not a single glider was in the air.
No one was readying a glider in the
staging area. The only glider in sight
was tucked away in its traveling case
atop the carrying rack of a plumber’s
truck in the parking lot. It was 10 AM on
Saturday morning.
The driver of the truck informed the
group he intended to fly, but was waiting
for his buddy. He allowed that the
people who flew here were not early
risers.
Gary, Bob, Pam, Chris, Harold, and
Laurie decided to go over to the native
plant nursery situated by the entrance
from Skyline Blvd. Being a first-time
visitor to the site, I chose to snoop
around the place. The National Sea
Shore management has several
interesting displays portraying the
history of the site—it was fortified for
both World War I and II and later
contained a Nike missile launching site
under the present parking lot. Other
