Learn to fly at Kitty Hawk Kites' Hang Gliding Training Center. We are the largest hang gliding school in the world, teaching hundreds of thousands (over 300,000) of students since 1974!

We have taught students aged 4-92, male and female, physically fit and physically challenged. In fact, we can accommodate paraplegics, blind, deaf and other persons physically challenged. All we require is a desire to learn how to fly. We provide beginner, intermediate and advanced instruction.

Flight Training at Lookout Mountain Flight Park

Our complete desire is to help you realize your flying dreams and hang gliding goals.

If you’ve ever watched hawks soaring in the sky and wondered how you could fly just like them, if you’ve ever seen a modern hang glider soaring high in the air and thought, “That’s fantastic! But I could never do that,” you’re in good company. Most hang glider pilots felt the same way before they learned to fly.

Our aerotow tandem program takes off right out of our landing zone. Lookout Mountain perfected the aerotow method of launching hang gliders over 15 years ago. We also designed, created and perfected much of the equipment used everyday in our aerotow operations. We have tandem instructors on staff that have over 10,000 tandem flights logged. When you come to Lookout Mountain you fly with the BEST!

Many of our students combine aerotow and hill training to accelerate their learning experience. Whatever training program you choose, your time will be well spent with the best instructors and hang gliding facility in the country.We offer the most comprehensive training facility complete with camping and lodging conveniently located in our 44-acre landing zone. Amenities include; swimming pool, volleyball court, clubhouse, bathhouse, bunkhouse, cabins and shaded pavilions.
