Trike Lessons - by Airborne Over Arizona
Discover powered hang gliding!
Experience flight like never before! Airborne Over Arizona, owned by L.J. Omara, now offers introductory discovery flights in powered hang gliders (also called "Trikes"). A Trike flight with L.J. will introduce you to the fun and ease of weight shift control flight, while comfortably cruising over the Sonoran Desert.
Your interactive flight lesson starts with a brief ground school where you will learn the basics of flying the Trike. You will be flying with an experienced FAA certified flight instructor. You will be guided around the Sonoran Desert, flying over the hills and washes to look for wildlife and check out the unique Saguaro Cactus only found in this region. Then you climb up high to take in the views the beautiful desert has to offer.
Every flight is a lesson, and you can log the time as flight instruction towards a Sport Pilots License. You will have the opportunity to fly the trike with the guidance of our flight instructors. You can fly as much as you like, or just sit back and enjoy the views while the instructor does the work. Our goal is for everyone to leave knowing more about aviation and flying weight shift controlled aircraft, all while having an amazing and memorable experience in the desert!
We have flights departing daily, all winter long!
