Hang Gliding is the nearest we can come to flying like a bird. Chosen by Blue Peter to teach Matt Baker to fly, Airways Airsports is a great place to learn to hang glide. Flying face down, with the wing above you, letting the movement of your body steer you around the sky - the feeling is exhillarating and unique. Take a tandem flight to 3,000 feet, or come and learn to hang glide with our expert team including Chief Flying Instructor, Andy Snell, and three times World Champion, Judy Leden MBE. You will not find more dedicated & professional instructors to teach you to fly.
