Hi,
On May 31st, late afternoon, I was returning from San Diego to Palmdale after helping my sister move. After I had passed Devore, north/west bound, I saw a hang glider at under 200′ setting up to land just North of the freeway. There was no off-ramp there, and I was towing a loaded trailer, so I couldn’t get off the freeway to see if there was any need of assistance, or to just watch the landing. I also realized that the glider was landing next to a house, so I assumed there would be someone there to help.
However, I am curious to hear the story. Does anyone know who and how this happened? (I assume, but don’t really know, that it had something to do with the competition. I’m sorry I had to miss that.)

That was Zac landing out after flying 42.5km of 75.3km in the 3rd task.
