Welcome! Free Flight Wiki collects flying-site information and resources for paraglider and hang glider pilots, with a focus on launch sites in California and the western US.

Safety first: Everything here is community-maintained reference material, not a substitute for official club site guides, current site procedures, or an in-person site introduction from a local pilot. Rules, contacts, and access change — verify before you fly. Fly at your own risk.
