We took a “birds-eye view” literally in this season 4 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 406). We are in Charlestown, New Hampshire to explore Morningside Park which offers hang gliding, power gliding, and paragliding. In this segment, we talk to Heath Woods, manager of the park to learn more about its inception and the regional suitability for hang-gliding. Morningside Park trains pilots in New Hampshire skies, offering them the experience of a lifetime with a pretty spectacular view.
