WELCOME ::

Merlin Flight School is a professional school specializing in customized foot-launched flight instruction. Wally Anderson, the owner and principal instructor, has taught thousands of foot-launched pilots since starting instructing in 1973. Our students consistently are among the best trained and safest pilots around.

We are a full-time school offering lessons both weekdays and weekends. We keep our class sizes small, usually 1-4 students, in order to provide better quality lessons. Our focus is on creating safe, "complete" pilots who have good flight planning skills and weather knowledge in additional to the usual physical skills.

If you would like to know more about our sports of paragliding and hang gliding, please visit The Magic of Flight to find out more about it.

We are proud of our former students and have included their stories and photographs as well as brief biographies and quotes from some of them.

Merlin Flight School represents some of the finest equipment available.

The Pilot Resources section of our web site includes a flying site guide, weather info, and clubs and organizations.
