Outer Banks Posts

We celebrated Francis Rogallo's birthday this week, the Father of Hang Gliding! 🪂 With his dedication to the sport he revolutionized hang gliding and the flexible wing. The Rogallo Foundation is passionate about preserving and sharing the history of Francis and Gertrude Rogallo, and the spirit of adventure and excitement that the application of the flexible wing have inspired.

“My intention was to give everyone the opportunity to experience flight first hand.” - Francis Rogallo
