About Flight Zone

Flight Zone is run by Chief Flying Instructor Neil Mersham who has been flying hang gliders locally in Byron Bay for over 30 years. He grew up in Byron Bay and knows the local wind and weather conditions comprehensively. This, he says is a huge advantage and such an important safety factor in running a successful operation that relies on the sound judgement of good winds and weather for gliding through the air.

He is a well-respected founding member of the local Club and is endorsed as local Safety Officer.

Neil was also a very successful competition pilot for over 15 years winning several major competitions.

This excursion is no doubt one of the best value for money backpacker deals on the East Coast!
