Jeff "Doc" Nielsen Soaring Green Point, Fall 1998



Welcome to the homepage of the Green Point Flyers Association!

 
"For once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward; for there you have been, and there you long to return."
-Leonardo Da Vinci

That describes Us! ...a group of about 40 "free-spirited" hang glider and paraglider pilots who love to fly like the eagle and soar majestically through the skies, high above the ridges along the east coast of Lake Michigan.
We own ten acres on top of the 400 foot ridge which begins south of the small hamlets of Frankfort and Elberta, Michigan.  There, you will find a launch ramp, camping, a spectacular vista, and plenty of camaraderie with the "brothers and sisters of the air", those of us who foot-launch our hang gliders and paragliders off the dune's edge and into the fragrant winds over Lake Michigan.
Come and Join us!  Experience the beauty of silent soaring wings gracefully floating at Green Point...meet the pilots, the aviators, their families.  You will long to return... 
Below are several Links for you to learn more about Hang Gliding, paragliding, and vicarously enjoy the beauty of silent flight:
