If you have always yearned to fly with the eagles and hawks, we can give you the equipment and training to get you AIRBORNE. The world is completely new when seen through eyes in flight! Imagine seeing YOUR part of the world as you never have before...not from the confines of a noisy, crowded commercial airliner, but solo (or with a close friend) from the seat of your own flying machine. And the best part...IT'S SO EASY AND AFFORDABLE! No license is required, no hanger fees are necessary. You don't even need an airport! When you are finished for the day, simply pack up your "plane" in the back of your car, van or trailer, take it home and store it in the garage or closet (yes, powered paragliders are THAT portable!!).
