Freedom’s Wings International

Flying For Persons With Disabilities

Freedom's Wings International is a non-profit organization which provides the opportunity for persons with physical disabilities to fly in specially adapted sailplanes.

On Saturday, June 6th and Sunday, June 7th, Freedom's Wings will offer free introductory rides to interested disabled individuals.  The event will be hosted by the Philadelphia Glider Council at their airport in Hilltown, PA located approximately 40 miles North of Philadelphia.  Additionally, there will be a cookout late Saturday afternoon for all participants and their families.

Interested participants should call the toll free number to reserve a time slot for a 20-minute ride.  There are only a limited number of flights available so call now if you want to experience the thrill of soaring.

Check out the pictures and comments from last year's participants at our website under the tabs Member Experiences and Video Gallery.
