A powered parachute, paraplanes. No matter what you call them, they are a lot of fun, a real outdoor adventure. Flying in powered parachutes low and slow taking in the view of the countryside, seeing things like rabbits scurrying about trying to get away from a predator like a coyote, or maybe deer or elk in some parts of the country. Flying in a powered parachute allows you to safely get low over the open countryside, giving you a spectacular view, allowing you some great photo opportunities. You can also take pictures of your friends flying their paraplanes along with you, with the distant mountains as a backdrop. With proper flight training, you can earn your FAA sport pilot certificate and you can easily fly powered parachutes over open country low for many miles with your best friend, wife or significant other along for the ride in your 2 place powered parachute, enjoying the feel of flight while the ground seems to rush by as you follow the dips & turns with your powered parachute. You can also enjoy spectacular vistas (like Monument Valley) from high above the earth, flying many thousands of feet up in the air, seeing for many miles in all directions while you seem to hardly move at all. Flying in a powered parachute is the closest you may ever come to experiencing a magic carpet ride.
If the adventure of flying in powered parachutes sounds like something you would like to experience, then you've come to the right place. We are one of the few areas where you can fly almost year round. Some of the best flying is in the cooler fall and winter months, as we just dress warmer. The powered parachute aircraft will perform even better in the cool dense air, and the morning flying times is extended longer in these months.
