If you ever wondered what mental state those crazy guys flying motorized lawn
chairs were in, and deep down wished you had the guts to be just as crazy, then
trike flying might be for you! Actually it's really not that crazy. Our modern weight
shift trike (AirBorne Classic) is expertly built and certified @ 6 positive and 4
negative G's. With a good training program you will find yourself smiling so much,
you will be picking bugs out of your teeth.
We train @ Sport Flyers Airport just north of Brookshire, TX. The airport is a
private field with a good mix of GA, LSA, and Ultralights. The strip is 4200' X 150'
and articulated @ RWY-35 and 17.
