Man was never meant to fly, as exemplified by his lack of wings, flexible skeleton, and penchant for bathing in cement. Defy nature with today’s Groupon: for $89, you get a tandem sky ride from Miami Hang Gliding, located at The Florida Ridge Air Sports Park in Clewiston (a $179 value).
For more than 25 years, Miami Hang Gliding has trained wind-bound wannabes in the aerial arts. The Pilot tandem sky ride commences after 30 minutes of terra-firma-planted training, during which students will learn the basics of how to operate their glider. Next, fliers launch 2,500 feet into the South Florida skies under the wing of a USHPA-certified instructor, watching carefully as he guides them through proper flying technique and offers helpful tips, such as how to spot a traffic cop hiding behind a cloud. The instructor then relinquishes control, allowing new aviators to get in some hands-on atmosphere explorations as they finally discover what it's like to live life as a giant man-bird. Rides take place Friday–Monday from sunrise to sunset, and customers can tote home a full video and photo documentation of their sojourn into weightlessness for an additional fee (not covered by today's Groupon).
If, at a future date, Groupon holders decide to enroll in Miami Hang Gliding's full pilot-training program, which aims to teach students how to launch and fly a glider without assistance, the full value of today's Groupon ($179) will be deducted from the $1,695 program fee.
