The Skywackers have a long and colorful history. The original 'Wackers were flying from Big Walker Mountain as early as 1974, and we have been Boo Waa'ing across the skies ever since.
Membership is open to any Hang Gliding or Paragliding Pilot (or potential pilot) who is a member of the USHPA
There is a Google Groups Skywacker List for general discussion and making flying plans as well as a Skywackers Free Flight Facebook Group.
