Congratulations to all the participants of this years Green Swamp Sport Klassic! The GSSK is a mentored competition specifically intended for newer pilots or experienced pilots that are looking to get into flying hang gliding competitions. This year over 50 pilots showed up to enjoy the early spring soaring at Quest Air Hang Gliding in Groveland Florida. We were able to attend the first couple of days to provide some coverage of the event.
