This happened to me last week on a beach in Nags Head while I was filing some surfers one morning. I had taken off from the beach and had been between 50ft - 60ft off the water. All of a sudden I hear what appears to sound like a chain saw engine. I look up and their is a guy flying around around 150ft in a powered hang glider. No video or photos of him but you can see my link, this is what he was flying...... TrikeBuggy Delta, Powered Hang Glider Ultralight Trike, Delta Trike - TrikeBuggy.com
From what I can tell he had glided in from a much higher height and then powered up when he got lower. As soon as a saw him I dropped to as low as I could and landed. I was only about 300ft away. Not only did it scare the heck out of me it really pissed me off this guy was flying so low and came in without a warning
