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.
If I could rate above 5 stars I would! My partner and I had the best experience here. Booking was easy and they were very accommodating, they scheduled us with relatively short notice as we had been keeping an eye on the weather. As soon as we arrived we were treated like friends and put at ease by the knowledge and demeanor that everyone who spoke to us had. My partner did the 3000ft tandem hang glide and had the most fun he has had in years! We were visiting from Ohio but will absolutely be headed south again with another visit to lookout mountain at the top of the itinerary. I definitely recommend getting the video package with whatever flight experience you chose, our family loved seeing my partner up in the air!
