About:
High Adventure Hang Gliding is a very unique husband and wife team, Rob & Dianne McKenzie. They have both been involved in foot-launched flight since 1974. Being available most days year round, (closed most Mondays and Tuesdays) they provide USHPA Certified, personalized instruction and service at Andy Jackson Airpark, in San Bernardino California (just 90 minutes east of Los Angeles). Their low key but dedicated efforts will make your visit a pleasant and productive one from start to finish. Their full service repair shop and home office are just minutes from one of the best flying sites in the world, Crestline/Marshall Peak. Of particular interest to most students is the highly professional tandem instruction available both in hang gliding and paragliding. This is considered by far the best way to learn the approach into the Andy Jackson Airpark.

Rob and Dianne have conducted over 9,600 safe tandem flights in their many years in the business and have earned worldwide respect. Our customer comments after their tandem flights are a must see! Tandem GIFT CERTIFICATES are available.
