GIFT CERTIFICATES for INTRODUCTORY Flights are Great Gifts <Father's Day * Birthdays * Graduation * Christmas * Anniversaries * Mother's Day * Valentines> to those who "dream to fly"!

Normally - pending the weather and the Instructors' schedules - these flights are given every Saturday morning.  Or if you have a group of 3 or more, you may contact us for Intro Flight reservation that can be made for any day of the week.

An INTRODUCTORY Flight is a relaxing adventure, where you can experience the sensations and abilities of flying on a 'magic carpet' - in a 2-seat powered parachute.  
An Instructor will occupy the front seat, while you can relax in the back seat.  Your hands will be free - as you will be securely fastened by a 4-point harness - so you are welcome to take a camera or video to capture this unique airborne sensation.

No sudden movements or turns are made, and the landings are soft and gentle, so whether you are 9 or 90, you can safely enjoy the sensations of a Powered Parachute Intro Flight!  
(Note: And yes, you very pregnant ladies are welcome to come safely fly with us as well.)

Under normal situations, a 20-minute ($60) or a 30-minute ($75) flight will give you a chance to experience all the basic flight characteristics of a powered parachute.  However, if you wish to experience how the powered parachute will fly over specific terrains or land formations, then you may need additional time.

For times over 30-minutes, each additional minute is $2.  Hence, a 1-hour flight is $135 ($75 for the 1st 30-minutes plus $60 for the additional 30-minutes - more Cost details follow below).

Know the extraordinary facets of the PPC (Powered ParaChute) & why it has:

Ø      A remarkable safety record
Ø      Low cost
Ø      Low maintenance, and
Ø      Aerodynamic/Mechanical simplicity

Understand that a Powered Parachute is:

Ø      The safest way to FLY!
Ø      The easiest aircraft to FLY, and
Ø      The best way to SAIL-THE-SKIES!

When you have an aircraft with the characteristics of a powered parachute, people who otherwise could only dream, can now fly for the sheer pleasure and exhilaration of personal flight. A powered parachute is truly the 'common-mans' chance to fly, obtain a Pilot's Certification and own a FAA registered aircraft.

_____________________________________________________________________

An Introductory Flight or Initial Training Flight, is a flight that is piloted by an experienced Instructor/CFI.  During this flight you will be comfortably seated in the 2nd or rear seat of the powered parachute.  You will be able to hear your instructor via helmet/head-phones.  The instructor will demonstrate the use of the simple components used for powered parachute flight while you are flowing over the scenic countryside.

[Note: And YES - you may bring your camera or video with you - this will be a flight that you will never forget - as your smile may become permanently 'chiseled' onto your happy-face.] 

[CAUTION!  These flights have been known to cause an addiction for powered parachutes - so be forewarned! 
I know personally, that if I don't fly every 3 or 4 days, that I begin to go through withdraws!]

These flight are geared for someone who has never flown in a powered parachute before, and would like first hand knowledge as to whether the sport may be suited for them.  

Gift Certificates are now available
