Tandem Discovery Flights

Two place instructional flights are available through TX FLYSPORTS for $125. This is a great way for individuals who want to ‘test the waters’ (or should we say, ‘test the skies’) before they make a total commitment. During this 30 minute flight you will be instructed in the fundamentals of ppg, including glider control, steering and application of throttle.

You will also have an incredible and thrilling experience!

The TX WINGNUTS, our local ppg pilot club is growing by leaps and bounds, and numbers almost 80 pilots. On a good flying day (especially on weekends) you will see anywhere from 10 to 15 pilots show up at the beach or the levee in TX City to take advantage of the smooth ocean breeze.
