The Intro Experience:

If you decide you love hangliding then check out the Intro Experience- special offered for Team Greener’s that day of your tandem flight.
Package includes:

  • Beginning Ground School
  • 5 training hill flights
  • 1 tandem instructional aerotow flight to 2000’
    This is the best, most popular one-day hang gliding experience. You will fly your first flights in a controlled environment, surfing the slopes of our small hills, only about 5 to 10 feet off the ground. You will get five opportunities to fly from our small hill with a certified instructor guiding you step by step. After your morning session you will fly tandem with an instructor by your side to an altitude of 2,000 feet above beautiful Lookout Valley where you will build on your experience in learning to fly the glider. If you would like to sign up for the Intro Experience, call 1-800-688-5637 and if you have any troubles, ask for Dan Zink.

    I just signed up…I can’t wait! Sounds like so much fun, I have always wanted to do that.

  2. Michele | Sun Jun 22, 11:28

    Is there an additional charge for the “Intro Experience” ?

  3. Team Green | Mon Jun 23, 11:53

    There is an additional cost for the Intro Experience at an Upgrade of $60. If you would like to do the Intro Experience, then call the outfitter directly and schedule your session- it is an incredible experience b/c you actually learn to fly your own craft!
