Our first paragliding flights off Packsaddle Mountain, which opened Feb 1, 2008. Amy Tomko, Gary Leach, Mike Wykoff, Dan Bishop, and Paul Greenwood take to the skies for a day.
Gary Leach takes a flight off Caballo Launch near Cola de Caballo just south of Villa de Santiago, Mexico. He uses a helmet cam to capture his flight from the pilot's perspective.
Amy Tomko flew her 1st paraglider thermal flight from "Caballo Launch" near Cola de Caballo just south of Villa de Santiago, Mexico on February 21, 2008. This is her flight!
Mike Wykoff sets up and launches via tow winch from Wells Lane in the Manor Texas area, on the northeast side of Austin Texas. Watch Mike launch via tow winch, and ride with him on his leisurely cross country (XC) flight. We generally release from the tow line from 1000' to 2000' above the ground. Watch for his shadow as he approaches the LZ, a field he chose during flight. Enjoy!
