Hang Gliding & Camping Adventure

*Do Not Wait* call Lookout Mountain Flight Park to pay and make a Reservation ASAP

Try Hang Gliding once for memories that last a lifetime! Soar like an eagle in this purest form of flight! No experience necessary.

Fly with a certified instructor pilot by your side for a birds eye view of beautiful Lookout Mountain. All tandem flights are towed to altitude by a special ultra-light aircraft. In-flight photos available. Fly to 1500 feet for 12 to 20 minutes of flying time.

The price is normally $149 but can be purchased for a group rate of $119 through September 6. You must call Lookout Mountain Flight Park at 1-800-688-5637 and make a reservation for September 14 under my name (Jennifer Howle) or under the Atlanta Outdoor Club. They will need your payment at that time. Please do not sign up for this trip until you have made your reservation.

We will arrive at the flight park office Saturday morning (at 9am) and fill out the necessary paperwork. We will then have our on-ground training/lesson and start hang gliding. One group will go in the morning and the other group will go in the afternoon. For those who want to camp out, we will set up camp at their nearby field close to a stream. We do have use have their bath house with toilets, sinks, and hot showers. The cost to camp is $5 a person and is paid when we set up camp.  You are responsible for all of your meals. Dogs are allowed to camp (I will be bringing Chewy) as long as you make arrangements for your four legged friends, such as a crate or a friend to watch them while you are flying. We will enjoy each other's company the rest of the evening and break down camp on Sunday morning to head back home.
