Flying like a bird has
never been easier, almost anyone can fly! Our expert pilots will introduce you to a
birds-eye view of scenic New Hampshire and make it a fun and safe experience you'll never
forget. Whether you are new to the sport and want to see how it feels or you just want
to have a relaxing ride with a beautiful view like no other, flying tandem is for you!
Give us a call and make your reservation now.
Tandem flights generally last around 20 minutes with a decent of about 2,500 feet (higher elevations
are available upon request). You and one of our expert pilots will be hooked into a special
hang glider made for two people.
An Ultralight aircraft, called a
Dragonfly, will tow you up
into the air - when a desired altitude is reached, your pilot will release from the
tow line and you'll be off on your flying adventure! You can either relax and enjoy
the scenery and sensation of flight - or you can take the controls with your tandem
chauffer and have first lesson on how to fly a hang glider. Either way, it's truly an
experience you'll never forget. New England Aerosports has successfully flown over
252 tandem flights with a perfect safety record. You can feel confident and comfortable that
you're safe when you fly with us.

What should I wear?
We recommend you wear long pants and a comfortable shirt. Bring along a light wind
breaker or sweat shirt in case it's cool up there. Comfortable footwear such as
hikers or sneakers are best. We will provide you with a helmet for safety.
What's it like - Will I be scared?
Many people are under the impression that hang gliding is an extreme sport,
dangerous and
death-defying - only
the most daring of individuals would pursue. They are, in fact, wrong. Hang gliding, when
done under the right conditions and with some of the most experienced and cautious of tandem
pilots, can be a relaxing and soothing experience. Most people often compare it to
feeling like they're floating, or gliding along like a bird.
What else is there to do at the flight park?
Feel free to stop by and watch anytime!
New England Aerosports is located in scenic Claremont, NH right across the street from
Morningside Flight Park- One of the most unique and complete flight parks in the world!
Morningside offers Hang Gliding, Paragliding, Ultralight & Trike Powered Flight Instruction.
You can come and watch hang gliders, paragliders, ultralights and other small aircraft
flying in the area. You can also watch remote controlled aircraft flying on the adjacent RC
field or up on Morningside's training hill. Flying enthusiasts who'd like to take up the
sport can sign up for lessons at Morningside. Facilities and camping accommodations
