Top Gun Flight School

At iParaglide Top Gun Flight School, we take pride in having taught over 1900 paragliding students in our 26 years of operation.

We are the the longest running school based in Metro Vancouver. Due to our central location, we are the only school that flies all of the relevant kiting parks, training hills and mountains within a 3 hour radius of Vancouver.  This empowers pilots to get to know the key training and flying spots early, optimizes and accelerates learning, and allows them to grow into great future pilots.  

We have the reputation of being an industry leader with an emphasis on engineered safety systems, quality instruction, the finest equipment and a positive learning environment for fun and empowering flying.

We offer the highest level of accreditation, with Senior HPAC and Advanced USHPA paragliding instructors, who coach from first flight to expert paraglider pilots and teach and qualify new paragliding instructors.

Top Gun fly-by of Grey Cup

DateFriday, November 25, 2011 at 11:54 AuthorDion Vuk

Just heard news that Daniel Walters, a 2010 iP2 paragliding graduate, and CF18 Hornet pilot, is doing a fly-by for the Grey Cup Parade: tomorrow, Saturday November 26, 12:00, in front of Canada place, over the harbour. 

 

Hoping for some clearer skies for the CF-18 squadron fly-by, as right now there are some weather issues trying to leave Cold Lake and the Vancouver forecast is for rain. 

I'm pretty fired up about the game, I played high school football and love contact sports.

Although the Lions this season had a slow early start: I personally think Lulay was throwing and moving the ball well from the beginning, the receivers just kept dropping balls, and the running game was absent.

But now, hard to find a flaw, with all the angles being covered. Lulay rocks and with McCallum kicking right through the posts consistently from 40 plus yards out, tough to beat!

Apparently a common jab in Dan's squadron is that he flies one of the fastest and loudest aircraft (CF-18) on the planet and also the slowest/lightest/quietest aircraft, a paraglider.

We'll watch for you in the skies on Saturday.  Godspeed,  Dan!

Go Lions!
