I took my mum hangliding. She said she always wanted to fly like a bird. I’m 68, Mum is 88! After checking with Tony and Mum’s GP, it was all systems go. Safety for Mum was absolute so we appreciated the very specific conditions Tony and Ausilia laid out; S to SE winds at around 20 knots. On a beautiful sunny day with some showers possible, Tony called it perfectly and found a 3hr gap in the weather. The take off and landing were so gentle - it was incredible. I’m pretty sure Tony could land that big bird on a 10c piece. The views in flight are amazing. We both absolutely loved it.
Mum’s flight has been a major major talking point in the family and amongst friends. It was such a huge thrill for Mum, she can’t stop thinking and talking. about it. So good.
Here comes the ad but seriously, if you want to turn apprehension into exhilaration, talk to Tony and Ausilia at HangglideOZ
