Since his childhood growing up on a small farm in Ohio, Kurt Fister has been intrigued with flight. His attempts to fly at age 7 with umbrellas off rooftops was, shall we say, notably unsuccessful.

His next attempt at flight with fiberglass T.V. trays strapped to his arms proved equally inadequate, not to mention painful. And should we mention the parachute he made from bedsheets, and the huge tower of scaffolding? Hmmm, that story takes a while to tell.

Needless to say, those pioneering days are long gone, but his love of the sky is stronger than ever. Now, at age 40, a seasoned pilot and veteran skydiver with thousands of jumps - Kurt enjoys flight in its most primitive state - Powered Paragliding (PPG).

He claims that the safety, portability, and the low and slow flying is the dream of a lifetime that finally came true. For years now, he has been training new students to experience their flying dreams and discover the freedom and fun of powered paragliding.

With each new student you can hear it in his voice, you can see it in his eyes, and you can tell by the smile on his face that this is a man who truly loves Powered Paragliding.

Capt. Kurt Fister has trained hundreds of students since this PPG phenomenon called FLIGHTJUNKIES began. From its beginning the success of FlightJunkies has been incredible.

Capt. Kurt Fister is one of the Nations top instructors with thousands of hours of PPG experience, and has trained hundreds of students of all ages and all walks of life including members of law enforcement and the United States Military.

Because of his love of the sport and his determination to keep PPG safe for anyone getting involved in this incredible sport, Capt. Kurt has always provided training completely FREE OF CHARGE IN ALL 50 STATES!

The Captain’s FREE TRAINING is not very well accepted by other instructors (as you can imagine!), especially since they charge $1000 to $2000 for training and certainly will not come to you.

However, Capt. Kurt has helped many folks who, for lack of finances or the lack of a local instructor, would have surely attempted to fly their PPG with no instruction whatsoever - and YES, we have seen the tragedy of this many times!

FlightJunkies continues to be the PPG safety headquarters and the ONLY nationwide PPG Dealer to bring the training right to you, wherever you live!
