Meet Your Pilot - Greg Newnham

Greg is a fully qualified HGFA Instructor with over 31 years of experience and over 10,000 hours of logged flight time. He is one of the countries most experienced and respected pilots.

He is extremely passionate about flying and is the founder of Air Play Hang Gliding which is the oldest operating hang gliding school in Cairns.

When you fly with Greg you can feel his genuine passion for the sport and can rest assured that you are in the care of one of Australia's most trusted and capable pilots.

This guy has equal proportions of being a chilled out dude, and a technically superb pilot. If you have any hesitation about jumping off a hill and flying thousands of feet in the air, then this is the guy to fly with. He'll make you feel - as much as possible - completely at ease before going up, tell you exactly what to do, what will happen and where to hang on (and trust me... I hung on!). But then once you're up he moves the glider so beautifully and with such precision you'll feel you're in a dream. Awesome and gentle, powerful and beautiful. You'll feel carried by the wind and see the natural world through new eyes. I had no idea flying would be like this. Who knew it could be so good. Whether you're experienced or totally new, you'll want to fly with Greg and his crew.

Most exhilarating experience I've had!! Highly recommend it. It's such a beautiful, floating above the world feeling... Greg is so experienced and makes the trip so much more enjoyable knowing you are in completely safe hands. Did not feel scared for a second. Loved it and can't recommend it enough!!!

Angela Danilis

The experience was amazing. The closest you can get to flying. Greg was really cool with the short gliding lesson & all kinds of trivia. One to put in the bucket list.
