This is some Mickey Mouse hang gliding, for sure!

My husband snapped these Sunshine State soaring shots yesterday from a light sport aircraft over Groveland. He’s towing up a hang glider in one. Look closely; you can see it in his mirror. The other photo is of the lake we call “Mickey Mouse” – a name that becomes much more understandable when you fly over it.

If you want to join the in-air fun, you can take a tandem hang gliding flight at Quest Air in Groveland, Wallaby Ranch near Davenport, the Florida Ridge near La Belle, or Paradise Hang Gliding in Bonita Springs. Here’s an article I wrote about tandem hang gliding that explains how it works.

If you’d feel better soaring in a plane, check out Seminole Glider Port near Clermont.
