Winch Launch Glider Flight

Upon arrival, you will meet your instructor and receive a pre-flight briefing. This will cover all aspects of your experience and you can ask any questions you may have. You will then take to the air for this extraordinary experience.

The winch launch will take you to approximately 1,000 ft in a matter of seconds before releasing the glider from the tug so your flight can start. You can either sit back and enjoy the ride or take the controls under expert instruction to get the most out of your experience.
