There is no feeling like it. It’s a total freedom and beauty and high-intensity experience. I don’t care who you are, young or old. I believe everyone has dreamt about what it would be like to fly.

The vertical tunnel rises 40 feet and is plenty wide enough for roll turns, flips and expert maneuvers. Much of the air is re circulated, air flow is created by a set of four 300-horsepower motors, which move 1.3 million feet of cubic air per minute.
The session begins with a briefing on body positioning and hand signals. During flight, a few simple hand gestures from the instructor can remind participants to extend their legs, keep their chin up, or just relax. Then enjoy the freedom of flight!
