General Info

The Florida Ridge is located on 50 acres of land in Southern Florida midway between Fort Myers and West Palm Beach, where Atlantic and Gulf coast winds converge to create the most favorable soaring conditions in the country. With unrestricted air space and wide-open fields stretching 100 miles in every direction, the Ridge gives pilots of all abilities unlimited opportunity to test their soaring skills, thermal to cloud-base, fly cross-country, and indulge their love of free flight. The Ridge’s friendly instructors and ground crew are on hand all day to assist you whether you’re an experienced pilot with special needs or a first-time passenger on one of our famous Sky Rides. And when you’re not flying, you can enjoy nearby diversions like horseback riding, canoeing-kayaking, bass fishing, air-boat tours, and sky-diving.
