Who can go hang gliding?

Anyone aged 8 and older and under 225 lbs can fly. We often accommodate those with physical impairments. A parent or guardian must sign a waiver for minors.

How early should I arrive?

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time to complete paperwork and watch a short orientation video.

Dress for the weather and altitude. Temps drop ~4°F per 1,000 ft. At 5,300 ft, we recommend a light jacket and long pants. Shorts and t-shirt are fine on the ground. Avoid heavy boots.

What’s the flight duration?

This 5,300ft flight typically lasts 25–30 minutes, depending on conditions. Aerobatic maneuvers shorten the time but increase the thrill!

What do I need to bring?

Bring comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing, sunscreen, water, and a great attitude. A valid state- or government-issued ID is required.

Can I bring my camera?

For safety reasons, personal devices are not allowed during the flight. However, we offer HD video footage from mounted GoPros on the glider.

Do you offer photo or video packages?

Yes! All footage from your GoPro flight can be purchased. Use it to grab the perfect screenshot or relive your adventure from the skies.

Is hang gliding safe?

All aviation involves some risk, but we prioritize safety through training, proper equipment maintenance, and careful weather monitoring.

What’s your cancellation policy?

Please give at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel so we can offer your time slot to another flyer. Availability is limited.

How does weather affect the flight?

Ideal conditions are 0–10 mph wind with gusts under 15 mph. Flights may be canceled due to poor conditions, but you’ll be notified 24 hours in advance and rescheduled.

Can I bring friends or family to watch?

Absolutely! We offer a shaded viewing area with picnic tables and grills. Many guests become flyers themselves after watching!

Do you sell gift certificates?

Yes, gift certificates are available and never expire. They can be sent by email or mail—perfect for gifting a one-of-a-kind experience.

Anything I should know before driving there?

Yes—police are strict with speed limits on the Eastern Shore. Drive safely to arrive stress-free and ready for your once-in-a-lifetime flight!
