Our Mission

Cultivate an environment of learning and growth to fulfill the dream of freedom in flight through Hang Gliding and Paragliding.

Our Flight Park

LET YOUR SPIRIT SOAR!

Just 20 minutes outside of Chattanooga, TN, Lookout Mountain Flight Park (LMFP) is the perfect mountain escape with gorgeous views of Lookout Valley.

We are a NW facing site with a world famous concrete radial launch ramp. Lookout Mountain has over 20 miles of ridge, overlooking miles of farmland making a great site for ridge and thermal soaring. Our landing zone is 2,000 feet by 1,000 feet stretching North to South and provides a large well-groomed landing area for all pilots.

LMFP has completed our grassy slope PG launch adjacent to the hang glider ramp. It is rated for P2 Pilots, and this is the ramp we will use for any students who clear on a Paragliding VIP Package with us.
