What we look for at Little Yancey

Wind direction

Ideal speed

6–12 mph

Ceiling · Paragliding

≤ 19 mph base · gusts ≤ 23

Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.

A Hang-2, paraglider-friendly launch near Red Oak in the Kiamichi Mountains, formerly a Buffalo Mountain Flyers site with a big clear LZ. The club now lists it as PERMANENTLY CLOSED and warns pilots who fly it risk arrest for trespassing — do not fly here without confirmed access. It faced the south quadrant; evening winds are known to build fast, sometimes near 30 mph by dark, and strong winds aloft off the Kiamichis can bring rotor and turbulence.
