Honoring Aviation History with the Rogallo Foundation

The foundation is on a mission to create an interactive educational destination right here in eastern North Carolina, showcasing the evolution of flexible wing technology. This educational site promises to offer high-quality exhibits, learning opportunities, and hands-on activities surrounding hang gliding, paragliding, and other flight sports. This is the perfect place for anyone, of any age, to explore the wonders of aviation and the thrill of flight.
As the Foundation seeks to inspire future generations, they’re actively encouraging fundraising efforts, literary publications, and educational resources—aiming to keep the spirit of flexible wing aviation alive and well!
