The very concept of a hang gliding school built around two-place in-air instruction was invented here. It was in 1991 when Malcolm Jones, founder and owner of Wallaby Ranch, outfitted tandem hang gliders with wheels for easy take-offs and landings, which in conjunction with aerotowing revolutionized hang gliding instruction and paved the way for a better, safer, and more enjoyable way of learning how to fly.



We have more experience aerotowing hang gliders than any other outfit. No one comes even close. Malcolm is by far the most experienced tandem hang gliding pilot in the world, and has more than 30,000 incident-free tandem flights under his belt.His vast experience, combined with a very conservative approach to tandem flying and hang gliding instruction, is responsible for our unparalleled safety record. In ten years of full-time operation, tens of thousands of tandem flights went without a hitch.
