Fly with a certified instructor pilot by your side for a birds eye view of beautiful Lookout Mountain. All tandem flights are towed to altitude by a special ultra-light aircraft. In-flight photos available. Fly to 2,000 feet for 12 to 20 minutes of flying time. We will arrive at the flight park office Saturday afternoon (at 3pm) and fill out the necessary paperwork. We will then have our on-ground training/lesson and start hang gliding. Afterwards, we will set up camp at their nearby field close to a stream. We do have use have their bath house with toilets, sinks, and hot showers. The flight service will have a cookout onsite that evening. We will enjoy each other's company the rest of the eveing and break down camp on Sunday morning to head back home. Visit their website at: http://www.hanglide.com/home.html
