News and views on the world of indoor skydiving
It’s a momentous day for us at Airkix as we officially become part of iFLY, the world’s biggest brand for indoor skydiving. Whilst iFLY has been our parent company for the past couple of years, helping us to feel very much part of the family, that’s not quite the same as wearing the badge.
At iFLY Manchester, we've been massively inspired of late by the wonderful Glen Mills, an 82 yr young lady who is wheelchair bound and suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. Glen flys with us every week, proving that you are never too young to amazing things, even when you have to overcome physical hurdles to do them.
Becoming a tunnel flyer is all about personal progression. An endless journey of discovering new skills and improving your flying abilities every time that you enter the wind flow.
I remember the first time I stepped into a wind tunnel, my heart was racing and my body was tense but the amazing feeling of adrenaline, mixed with a freedom like no other soon took over.
