flying events

Since 1976 the Freedom Flight Park has hosted many local, provincial and National hang gliding and paragliding fly-ins and competitions including the annual Lumby Air Races.  The Canadian National Hang Gliding Championships were last held here in 2015. 

Why here?

Free flying has been present in the Lumby Valley since the mid 1970s. 
A combination of road accessible takeoffs, thermal generating mid-sized mountains,
generally low valley winds and plenty of flat fields
​make it a mecca for free and motorized flying. 
​Oh, and we didn't even mention the amazing views!

OUR GOAL

To Inspire and Educate people about the fun & thrill of flying by providing a safety conscious community of like minded pilots.

Free flying

Paragliding
Essentially a large parachute, a paraglider is a wing that flies slowly through the air.  You sit upright and the flight can be calm & meditative or a wild invisble roller coaster ride in the sky!

Hang Gliding
This flexible yet rigid wing is the closest thing to flying like a bird.  The pilot is prone in a suspended harness and controls the wing by shifting body weight and foot launches from a hill or ...soon to be aero towed up with an ultralight.

Motorized flying

Ultralight
Don't like the idea of running off a mountain but you want to experience the raw essence of flying?  An ultralight trike is used for teaching hang gliding and takes off and lands from a runway like a plane but the engine can be turned off during flight and you can learn how to soar.  Amphibious ultralights and self launch ultralight sailplanes are coming soon!
