Full description
An even more unique experience than a tandem paragliding flight? An aerobatic flight!
Not only will you fly for about 15/20 minutes in the company of a pilot over the landscape around Palermo and the Tyrrhenian Sea: you will also experience the thrill of aerobatics and evolutions in the air, performed by a professional with 20 years of experience and 2 victories at the Italian championships.
For a total duration of 2 hours, forever etched in your mind and in a video-record shot with GoPro!
What we will do
I will be waiting for you 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Altavilla Milicia (PA). To welcome you there will be me, a pilot with 20 years of experience and 2 victories at the Italian championships!
Together we will climb aboard an off-road vehicle to reach the take-off point, located 800 metres above sea level. Once at the destination, a briefing will take place: I will provide you with all the necessary information on safety rules and flight phases so that you can enjoy the experience without worries (literally, with your head in the clouds).
Once you have your gear on, we will be close to take-off: you will be securely harnessed to me and together we will take a short run-up to take flight! Carried by the updrafts, we will admire the northern coast of Sicily and the Tyrrhenian Sea from a unique perspective. In the meantime, I will perform aerobatics and evolutions in the air; and if you want to increase the thrill of the experience, you can try asking me to manoeuvre the paraglider yourself!
The flight lasts approximately 15 to 20 minutes, after which there will be a gentle landing on the beach near the meeting point. The experience lasts a total of about 2 hours (transfer to take-off point, pre-flight briefing, paragliding flight). And you will return home with a video-record made with GoPro!
