First Flights
vijay AggrawalThe word “Flying” had fascinated my entire childhood. Whenever I use to see a Bird especially Eagles I used to become mesmerized by their style and Jealous at the same time. And every time I used to ask the same question from the God. Why? Why were we not given the same pleasure which birds have each day. What wrong did humans do that they were deprived of the wings. I asked adults also but never got an answer that could have fulfilled my desires or satisfied my hunger to fly.

Sandeep SawantSpeaking for me, I think I had a fantastic experience for these three days. The course looks well designed and a nice mix of theory + practicals. All the instructors were competent and worked so hard for all of us. Your voice on the radio and the constant instructions provided good comfort in the air. Anita did an amazing job by making everyone comfortable and capturing the memorable moments. Stay and food arrangements were great. I will never forget my first solo flight and landing. You are right, having tasting flight, I am only hungry for more. Just waiting to get my bearings at work in place and plan to do my P2 in matter of days.

  When you join Temple Pilots, you just don't join a flying school, you join a family.

TemplePilots offers you a beautiful learning and flying experience. You would find yourself enjoying every step of the learning with the instructors, with as much to progress in the sport and as much to fly solo, as you can personally handle. Accompanied by home cooked food and a very comforting stay at Lake Paradise in Talegaon, your 3-4 day flying experience would transport you to an altogether different world you would crave to get back to over and over again.

Life is incomplete if you've not captured the skies. If you want to fly, you MUST. The joy of flying cannot be imagined, it can only be experienced.

Paraddicted by the joy of flying, Nakul

Adity JainNever thought of flying in the sky like this before, Had a wonderful coincidence and followed it
Was not even sure I could be able to do it
But allowed myself to relax and went with the flow
– And this MIRACLE, flying happened!
Was the most beautiful experience of my life!

    Having completed my P1, I am now determined to become a Club Pilot. Why? Because that's what Temple Pilot does to you. It gives you the will to FLY!

One can't help but trust the calm confidence of the instructors and their expertise, especially after the display of their spectacular flying skills. They did not leave any stone unturned to ensure that all safety measures were in place. Their patience along each step of the learning curve further helped me get my bearing together for THAT first solo flight. And *what a* flight it was! :D

Looking forward to a fabulous journey ahead with Temple Pilots and a lifetime of flying!

  When I reached up and kissed the Sun...The training is strict but extremely friendly. There is never a moment when you feel uncomfortable. It was surprising actually, not to feel unsafe at that height, while flying.

Nothing was as heavenly and serene as paragliding. You are in the air with the birds, lots of concentration required hence you forget everything else.
