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
Picture
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
Picture
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
Picture
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!
