"A Dream of Flying" the story of Lookout Mountain Flight Park 

I grew up with Mike Moore, a hang glider inventor. He was a close friend of my aunts and lived 75 feet from me. He died doing what he loved best. You earned your eternal wings 🪽🖤RIP🖤🪽

Great remember from brothers of their flying life. I started my flying dream with hang gliding in1976. My wife gave me premission to live two dreams, flying and my famaly . I would also like to say thank you to all the pilots wives, you are the best. Warm greetings to all my brothers in the world Wolfgang from Bavaria in Germany

I used to fly hang gliders years ago and this film brought so many memories back. Thanks for creating it!

great movie I am from Ukraine, glad to be involved in this wonderful sport. it is a pity that there is a war going on in our country and we cannot fly

Guys and gals involved in this video, outstanding job!! I loved it!!! This video captured what Hang Gliding is all about!!! Signed: Former Hang Gliding Pilot in the late 70s and early 80’s. Also former instructor with So Cal School of Hang Gliding which is now called Wind Sports in Southern California. Trivia most may not know: Owner Joe Greblo along with Rich Grigsby, looking for an even better business design (and living in So Cal) brought on wind surfing as an additional way to expand the business. Along with learning Hang Gliding with the company I learned wind surfing through the company. Joe told me, we are going to change the name to Wind Sports as it’s not just Hang Gliding. Joe and Krissy, his wife, are some of the finest people I have ever known. Miss them, miss the sport. Thanks for the video!!!

I’m a 76 year old GA pilot with about 2500 hours SEL and 400 hours in gliders. I live in Southport North Carolina. I think I’m gonna set up a trip to the Outer Banks to give it a try. Great video.

Wow! Amazing tribute to Matt, LMFP, and the sport of hang gliding.

Thank you for this awesome video. Ive taken lessons at lookout mountain. I pulled my hamstring two different times. My advice is get your lower body strong and stretched out before sprinting down the bunny hills. I really enjoyed the aerotow . Very good teachers.

Awesome story, Me and my son stumbled upon the launch site about 10 years ago when he was starting power lineman training at SLTC in Trenton. Being a private pilot and aircraft mechanic I couldn’t help myself, so we got out and helped a couple people set up to launch. Someday I hope to make it back there for some training and flying, so glad to see everything go well down there.

Great compilation! Got my H1, H2, and aerotow ratings at LMFP. (Thor was one of my aerotow instructors.) One of the best, if not the best, places to fly in the country. Matt, and the whole staff, are dedicated to safety and the success of their students.

It's has a feeling of home for me and hopefully it goes on forever

Loved the hang-waiting depiction :D

50:23 wow, what an amazing experience!

Great documentary. I quit racing motorcycles to go flying. My first mountain flight was off Lookout before there was any ramp a couple hundred yards north of the current ramp in 1975. Flew there with my best friend from Ohio. Hang Gliding Magazine was called “Ground Skimmer” back then and was just a folded 4 page publication. Many fantastic memories at Lookout, Grandfather, Sleeping Bear Dunes, High Rock Maryland, Whitwell, Hensons Gap, etc. Had better performing wings but my Oly 160 was the most fun. Being at cloud base without a motor is something special. Thanks for creating this excellent video. ✈

YeeHaw! Hadn't watched this in awhile since it first came out. Dang, it's even better the 2nd time! Thanks Jem, you've captured a host of what flying hangs is all about. Sky Out! Steve

Outstanding documentary! I started flying back on the 70s and think I would enjoy a trip to LMFP.

Very, very well done. I flew Lookout back in the mid 80's when I was just learning to fly. I was only there for a week, but I made many memories that will last my life. I'm still flying. I fly trikes now. Take care. Enjoyed the video immensely.

I am so happy this documentary was made! I've always dreamed about hanggliding and just now I am finishing my course here in Europe, in Czech Republic particularly :D I was smiling throughout every minute of this film ^^ Good luck and let's meet in the air everyone :) Hopefully at Lookout Mountain someday

Instruction from an instructor who just learned a week before! What a time to get into hang gliding.

What a great video! LMFP is where it all started for me.

Wow what a video, I started paragliding last year and I have become enamored with hang gliding since then as well. My paragliding memories are some of the great moments in my life that can bring me to tears of joy just thinking about them. Watching this video brings me those feelings as well as I remember some of them.

This is amazing! Thanks for it. I promised myself this is the year I will finish my license and this movie reconfirms that decision. I originally flew with Kip many years ago. See you on the hill!

Wow, I loved watching this film so much it made me cry, I did an introductory course when I was 50 and it was the best thing I've ever done. I tried to get on a full trainng course but came up against a brick wall

This is such a beautiful documentary, Jem. It was fun seeing your courageous little daughters taking part of your adventure here too...and loving it. I personally enjoyed the few shots of nostalgia taking me back to our Ren Fest days when we were all so young, fun and free. And you even included a FedEx pilot in the documentary. My FedEx pilot son, who'd been with Mark and I in the old days, will get a kick out of watching this well-done documentary of yours too. Along with your fellow flyers, the brilliant dream of the initial Lookout Flyers and entrepeneur/owner Matt.

At first I thought that was the voice of Peter Coyote narrating. 😆 Seriously, I finally got to watch this, and it is even better, and broader, than I expected. How gut-wrenching, that you witnessed the tandem crash from the air. I was at launch, napping in my car, and when I awoke the normal buzz of activity had taken a terrible change. I wondered what it meant, that I had slept through such a tragedy. But I had made the trip to fly, and the next day (or day after?) I did fly too.

This outstanding production features LMFP, and really exemplifies the dream of birdlike flight that was occurring throughout the U.S. in the 70s. LMFP was one of many locations that provided a place to make the dream of flying like a bird a reality...

If you let paper and pride get in the way flying!!!! Kiss is all I can say! We are all lucky to share the sky together. I'm a PPG pilot but would love to hang glide in the near future 🙂

I did it on the West coast through Mission Soaring Center in Milpitas, CA, Pat Denivan and crowd (Rob Engorn, Don Burns ) mid-80s. It changed my life. One day in April weather was coming in and I went from Ed Levin Park to Mission Peak without a problem (the Golden Eagle award) Getting down then became the problem! I couldn't get down! I tried...but I got a one-month ban from the park for not leaving before the park closed. It was a certificate of accomplishment! On to get my Advanced rating...so many great memories of friends and good times. Connie Bowen and Russ Locke and Dunlap flight park...Lake Don Pedro and Lake McClure for us newby H2's. Connie had the most wonderful hang check...leg straps, hooked in, and Wahoo,...good to go :-) Treasured memories!

Great documentary, was awesomeness to see everyone. Stumbled across this looking for my LMFP fam. missing their beautiful faces🥰

What an outstanding movie! So well done, and tells the story so well that we who have flown have always had difficulty expressing to non-fliers. This needs to be made available on DVD, if possible. Thanks for all the work and heart you put into this. I will share it with my old time hang gliding buddies!

I flew LMFP in the early 90's. We were used to flying 100 ft bluff and very small mtns here in Canada so going to lookout was a real treat. One thing the local recognized was our ability to soar very small stuff. We did mucg better than the locals when it came to scratching. I milked a small thermal from 200 ft off the deck and managed to get over-launch. good times

Very nicely done video about a legendary site and the legends who made it happen. Kudos. 43:25. A great shot of the stone entry to the local cemetery where Dennis Quaid was buried (The Night the Lights went out in GA)

Cool vid

LMFP is on my list. I just flew at Andy Jackson, Sonora wings has been a go to for two seasons. It looks like such an amazing place.

Nice to see another soaring Moore, we definitely fly Moore lol. I’m a California pilot, my local sites are Dunlap, Ca (yes another Dunlap but in Cali) and Tollhouse, Ca. We’ve got a couple great sites here, but I’d love to travel east and try out your sites. Happy landings and smooth soaring.

Terrific video. I saw on kitestrings, that the tandem pilot involved in the 37:50 accident had a tow plane crash in Florida 2020.

Excellent work!

very great vid from our american cousins!

Thanks Jem, loved every moment… brilliant cinematography. Like Matt, there are still plenty of us that see the potential for this great sport to continue to grow. Even us downunder…

This is so well done! Kudos to you Jem.

This is a well done documentary!

❤❤❤❤ Doctor foziya Afghan ❤❤❤❤

Fouzia is a very good girl of Afghanistan

I have different types of paragliders I got tandem wings and a regular paraglider I need someone to tell me if I could go here and fly with it and does it cost anything I don't need no training or nothing like that I just need a place where I can go and fly off of a mountain

Great advert for unpowered flight.

How to buy flying glider lm interested to fly

Can a 72 year old whos in fairly good shape take up this sport ?
