Perched atop Lookout Mountain just outside Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain Flight Park has been turning earthbound dreamers into pilots since 1978. This family-run, USHPA-certified free-flight resort blends spectacular ridge vistas ...
The staff here are genuinely what make this place special. Instructors like Dalton, John, Cole, and Jordan come up repeatedly in reviews for making first-timers feel safe while still delivering a thrilling ride. The front desk team, including Josh and others, are equally praised for being welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do. It feels less like a tourist operation and more like being welcomed into a tight-knit flying community. First-timers seem to leave completely hooked, with several reviewers mentioning they want to return for lessons or come back with family. The process is well-organized from booking through landing, and the aerotow setup gets consistent praise for feeling secure even for those a little nervous about heights. Across the board, the reviews reflect a place that takes safety seriously without letting it dampen the adventure.
This was my first time hang gliding and I could not have picked a better group to do this with!!! My flight guide/ tandem ride was with Dalton and he was absolutely amazing. He made me feel safe, but also gave me a fun/adventurous ride with my permission. I am seriously thinking of doing this as a hobby and signing up with Lookout mountain Flight park to teach me how to fly l!! Life is short- take a flight!!!
