MAKAPUU, Hawaii --
A fire rescue crew airlifted an injured hang glider pilot off the mountain near Makapuu this afternoon.
A Honolulu Fire Department spokesman said paragliders hiking to their launch site on the Kalama Valley side of the ridge found the man about 3 p.m. and called 911.
The man did not have obvious injuries but was disoriented. He was flown by helicopter off the mountain and taken to a hospital. It is unclear how long the victim was on the mountain.
