ABOUT HYNER

Hyner View, located in scenic central Pennsylvania, has been home to foot-launched flying for both hang gliders and paragliders since 1975.  Launch is located on D.C.N.R  land known as  HYNER VIEW STATE PARK.  With permission and assistance from the rangers, we are able to enjoy great flying year round from the highest active site in PA!  Hyner, 1300' AGL (1949' MSL), was home of the 1978 Hang Gliding Nationals and holds fun Fly-In events throughout the year.

With launch facing WNW, Hyner offers great flying during post-frontal days but can also be launched from SW to North winds due to the round shape of the mountain.  Hyner is a great place for first high flights, intermediate pilots who need to practice launches/ landings and advanced pilots who enjoy challenging thermals with a terrific view.  In addition to Hyner, we have several other site near by in every direction.  Check out Other Sites

The LANDING ZONE is 1858' of flat,  regularly mowed grass that served as an airport from the mid 1930's to the 1950's (Click here for the history of the Hyner Airport).  The LZ is located next to the Susquehanna river and offers plenty of shade for camping and relaxation in-between flying.  At night, the LZ is illuminated with camp fires surrounded by pilots both near and far exchanging flying stories.

Besides great flying, great friends and a relaxing atmosphere,  Hyner offers many other Activities for both pilots and their family to keep everyone entertained during their visit.  After spending a weekend at Hyner, you'll understand why people travel from far away to enjoy the best site in Pennsylvania!

See ya at Hyner!
