F.A.Q.'S

​What is it like?

There is nothing else "like" flying! (Literally)

Imagine running a few steps down a gently sloped field,
then lifting off suspended from above by a wing over head,
into the sky soaring along or over ridge tops and forests... 

Take a closer look at one of the videos to get an idea and listen to the giggles at launch.

​

How long will I fly?

Depending on conditions :15  to :30 minutes.
i love to fly and we will generally stay up as long as conditions warrart.
Please be on time for shuttle.​

​

When can I go?

We fly most weekends and some weekdays by prior appointment *as available.
As you can imagine flights are weather dependent and
we will do our best to accommodate re-booking due to *weather .
Safety first. Fun & adventure second !
 

​

Can I go with a partner or friend?

Yes of course, we can utilize other certified tandem pilots to fly at more or less the same time.
The tandem pilots all know each other and  are friends who support support each other..
We often need to share clients in order to facilitate groups and couples.
Be mindful you may not actually be in the air or launching at exactly the same time
or even nearby in the air, for safety and logistical reasons. 
Often, we have found it is as, or even more enjoyable, to go consecutively

and see the excitement in your friend or partner's face and film their launch or landing. 

​

Can I take pictures while we are flying ?
Yes, but it is advised that you have a lanyard or a strap for your camera or phone.​
Please note- We are NOT responsible for dropped phones or cameras.

For a $25 fee we can arrange raw unedited video you can download later
or you can bring your own camera or go pro.​
​

How much is it?

​$300 is the regular rate. Tips are extra. Video is extra.
Note: Your shuttle fee and the pilots is included and paid to outside service from your fee.
$20/$25 at most sites for spectators.

Note: we require a $150 deposit by e-transfer to confirm a booking date

 and then payment in full before flying please. 

Logistics: Where will we meet?​

After reviewing most recent weather and other considerations,
we will contact  you a day or two previous most likely with a short *TEXT*
to confirm appropriate weather conditions & specific timing logistics to meet your pilot.

You will be provided a clickable location map by text of nearby meeting spot.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Shuttle up is on their own schedule.
Please arrive on time, or previous to the arranged time in order to facilitate shuttle logistics. 

​

What do I need to wear or bring?

We have  helmets.
Sturdy boots or 'trail style runners' with ankle support - Please no sandals for obvious reasons. 
Long pants *recommended* (especially shoulder seasons),
light gloves, *sunglasses, and depending on season, windbreaker or warmer jacket. 

​

If you like, bring a bite to eat for afterwards and some water, as we usually start early for best flight conditions.​

There is swimming nearby at Harrison bay and further away at Harrison lake,
which is very nice, in the heat of summer after flying!

​

Can anyone do it?
You need to be relatively fit, enough to run a few steps for take off and landing.​
