Ever dreamed of what it would be like to soar above the treetops and fly? Then this is the experience for you!
Fly with a certified instructor by your side for a bird's eye view of beautiful Lookout Mountain, one of Georgia's most scenic areas!
Altitudes to 1500 feet or 3000 feet are offered. Both altitudes will take off in the valley, and passengers will be slowly towed up behind an ultralight airplane with a certified instructor. Once the altitude is reached, you will enjoy the views while flying around before you gently roll back onto our grassy landing zone where you first started.
You will be amazed by the grace of this aerial dance, tandem hang gliding is truly a once in a lifetime experience!

All of the tandems are towed up behind an ultralight airplane that was designed specifically for towing hang gliders. This means that your tandem flight will launch and land on wheels. Both you and your tandem pilot will be flying, launching and landing in a prone, lying down position. No running involved.
You can bring your camera with you on the flight. They cannot risk the possibility of you dropping or damaging your camera, so you will not be allowed to take pictures. Instead just enjoy your flight, check out the beautiful view, learn how to steer the glider. They will take the pictures for you ($25 charge).
The trim speed of a hang glider is about 18-20 MPH. Trim speed is defined as the speed a glider is flying when the pilot is flying hands off. Most gliders stall at around 15 MPH, are towed at about 33-35 MPH, and reach top speeds of 45-65 MPH (depending upon the glider model).
