We Want Fly - Your Flight Club

If you want to try the thrill of flight and at the same time carry out a healthy and original sport, the hang glider is the best choice. A means for pleasure flying, the hang glider is available to fans of all ages and social conditions thanks to its low purchase and maintenance costs. Even if it is not "fashionable" anymore like the practical paraglider, the hang glider is still used in major pleasure flying competitive contests.

This is made up of two Boeing 747-200, designated VC-25A, whereby various modifications were carried out in order to make them easier to handle and able to accommodate the President's office in case of emergency situations. Unlike any other aircraft, these two can be refuelled whilst still in flight.
