Flying the Fort since 1989!
In my experience, nothing beats flying a hang glider!
I took one lesson and was hooked and ordered a brand-new Wills Wing Raven the very next day!
Hang gliding is such an incredible experience and has added so much to my life, it is truly my pleasure to share it with others and help them achieve their goals.

The Bay Area Fledglings is not a formal school, but rather a self-organized group of pilots dedicated to supporting new, intermediate, and experienced pilots in achieving their flying goals during their lifelong journey of flight.
