About High Desert Hang Gliding

High Desert Hang Gliding's well-practiced instructors teach beginning aviators how to soar through the sky with a hang glider. All students begin on a 25-foot training hill, where they learn the basics of launching and landing before being cleared to take off into the wild blue yonder to rendezvous with handsome pterodactyls. With a course of 10 lessons, ambitious gliders can attain a solid understanding of ground-school theory, acquire the ability to fly without direct instructor supervision, and procure enough knowledge to pass the USHPA Novice Hang Gliding written exam.

It is NOT a flight off a cliff but rather a hang glider with wheels that a pickup truck pulls until the glider is at 500 ft or 1000 ft (the 1000 ft altitude is more expensive by $20-25 but worth it). It was great! I am planning on doing it again.

Charley, Mel, and Shelly are some of the best hang glide instructors in ABQ with more than 70 years experience between the 3 of them. It was my first time hang gliding but I would definitely come back again and do more flights.

Had a fun time. The instructors were knowlegable, friendly, and explained things very clearly. Would have liked more time on the hang glider and less time waiting around as other people rotated through so either set up another hang glider or limit the number of students per session.

The experience was the most amazing thing I've ever done. The instructors, both Charlie and Richard, were full of knowledge theoretical and physical. Their instruction was informative and entertaining. They encouraged questions at every turn. Then the owner Mel showed up and made the day a delight. This is the opportunity I've been looking for an activity athletic and challenging for my husband and myself. Everyone should have a go.

Professional, courteous, and FUN! I had a great time, and I am considering taking more hang gliding lessons in the future as a result.
