About Shawn

I’m Shawn Elder, and with the help of my wife Tiffany and our daughter Haley, I own Paramotor Flyers Powered Paragliding. I’m a certified instructor with USPPA. I follow the USPPA training syllabus and offer USPPA ratings. I am also rated to do tandem flights and offer tandem instructional foot-launch flights.

Location

I operate from the Durant Regional Airport in south-central Oklahoma. Our three-acre training field is steps from a comfortable pilot’s lounge, available for classroom work and breaks.

Training Field

Three acres of mowed grass allow
plenty of room for practicing ground handling, towing, and safe take-offs and landings.

Syllabus

Learn to foot-launch or fly a trike, all for the same price. All my courses offer towing and/or tandem instructional flights. Courses average 5 to 7 days which can be consecutive
or as your schedule allows.

Syllabus

My full training course is $2,300.

Great people and very friendly. It is very apparent that safety is the #1 priority along with customer service as a very close 2nd. Give them a try, well worth an afternoon!!
