MORE ABOUT US
Changing Lives Through the Freedom of Flight
Wings With Wheels is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit sharing the freedom of adaptive flight with people with disabilities, individuals affected by PTSD and other mental-health conditions, veterans, and adults 75 and older. Through tandem paramotor and paragliding experiences, inclusive clinics, and community events, we build confidence, independence, and connection. Our programs introduce youth and adaptive athletes to the sport through accessible ground activities while supporting aspiring pilots through adaptive instruction and training. From a first flight to a path toward independent flying, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to spread their wings—and discover what is possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about how we take to the skies? Here are answers to the most common questions about our adaptive paramotoring programs, safety protocols, and how to get involved.
Do I need to register in advance to participate?
Yes. All adaptive flights, clinics, and equipment activities require advance registration. Participation depends on individual eligibility, space and equipment availability, weather conditions, and final safety approval.

Our programs are specifically designed for individuals facing physical and emotional challenges, including those with spinal cord injuries, amputations, and veterans looking to rediscover a sense of freedom.

Safety is our highest priority. We use specialized, custom-built wheeled trikes (flight carts) and highly certified instructors trained specifically in adaptive aviation techniques to ensure a secure and controlled experience..
How much does a tandem experience or flight training cost?
Because of our incredible donors and community support, we work hard to provide these life-changing experiences and training scholarships at little to no cost for eligible participants.

Our testimonials
What They’re Saying
Tony Torres
Advocate
For years, I’ve dedicated myself to pushing the boundaries of adaptive sports and mobility, but there is something completely transformational about leaving the ground behind. When you are up there in the sky, the chair disappears, the limitations vanish, and it’s pure freedom. Wings with Wheels was born out of a mission to share that exact feeling of absolute independence with our fellow veterans and adaptive athletes. We aren't just changing perspectives; we are giving people back their wings.
Brad Authement
First time flyer
Taking that first flight with Wings with Wheels completely shifted my mindset. As a veteran, you miss that adrenaline, that sense of mission, and that feeling of absolute control. The moment we caught the wind and took off, all the noise on the ground just stopped. This program does more than just offer a flight experience—it builds a community, challenges you to face new heights, and proves that our next great adventure is just getting started.
