- The Lookout Mountain Flight Park is the largest hang gliding school in the country for good reason--they have their operation well-organized and staffed by friendly and competent employees--important considering their line of business! – Benjamin M, Yelp
- This place is AMAZING. I had such a great time learning how to set up the glider and take runs off hills on my own, and my instructor was patient as she kept trying to get me to keep running no matter what. – Michelle, Yelp
