Choose Between Two Options

After strapping into the hang glider, a plane tows you and your instructor until it reaches an altitude of 2,500 feet. There, you both are released from the plane to ride thermals over Arizona’s Sonoran Desert. Depending on conditions, this scenic flight lasts approximately 20 minutes before the instructor guides you in for a landing.

Sonora Wings Hang Gliding

On tandem flights, Sonora Wings Hang Gliding's instructors, who are certified by the United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association, take their customers to altitudes of up to 5,000 feet, where they glide like birds over Arizona’s Sonoran Desert. The unique vantage point allows for breathtaking views—wild mustangs running through the desert, distant mountains, and red-tailed hawks that soar within a robotic arm's grasp. To reach these heights, hang gliders are towed behind the company's Dragonfly, a small aircraft specifically designed to launch hang gliders. Sonora Wings Hang Gliding's pilots and instructors take off on these adventures from sunrise to sunset, and they can capture each moment on HD video.

The Groupon Guide to: Writing a Love Song

Other than offering to pay for a love interest’s major surgery, the best way to make that person fall in love with you is by writing him or her a song. Here are some tips to consider when crafting your musical love letter:

• If you’re writing to a woman, compare her beauty to something you’d find in nature, like a sunset or a particularly erotic looking mountain.
• If you’re writing to a man, compare his coolness to an anthropomorphic cigarette smoking an actual cigarette.
• Try to make yourself sound like a loving person, so avoid writing about crimes you’ve committed unless they were crimes of passion.
• In the outro, repeat your love interest’s name over and over again, getting quieter each time and dramatically slowing down the tempo of the song. After several hours of this, he or she will fall asleep near you. If you are able to stay awake while he or she sleeps for 24 consecutive hours, you will be legally married (only in some states).
• Remember the old saying: if it’s got a sweet beat, it’ll be on repeat, but if it’s got only a trace amount of bass, you’ll never finish in first place in the love race.

Is embezzlement always a crime of passion?
