Specialties
Wings to Fly offers hang gliding and training in the Columbus area. Using a stationary winch towing system, you can learn to fly solo in a modern training glider staying just a few feet above level ground until you to feel comfortable flying to higher altitudes. When conditions permit, tandem flights on a wing designed for two will take you and an instructor 2,000 feet high for a bird’s eye view of Ohio and an opportunity to pilot the glider. Most people will find hang gliding to be a very natural way to fly, and USHPA Certified instruction using proven methods will speed the learning process. With practice and at a fraction of the cost of other forms of aviation, you will be flying your own aircraft, climbing on the sun’s energy, and staying aloft by virtue of your skill, patience, and persistence with the feel and sound of the air comforting your senses and giving you a new perspective on life. Instruction by appointment, weekends, and some evenings.
