MONTANA - Big Sky Country!
Home to rugged mountains, wondrous stretching prairies, deep forests, wide river systems, and blue ribbon trout streams. Wildlife as never seen before - antelope, deer, coyote, mountain lion, big horn sheep, eagles, and yes, powered parachutes!
Montana is the home of Riders in the Sky, Inc. - a full service dealership for powered parachutes. Started in early 1995, Riders in the Sky has developed well
over the last five years. Now based at Skyrider Flightpark, with a developed field operation, Riders in the Sky is capable of complete instruction and flight training, with
two AFIs for powered parachutes on staff. Sporting a growing ultralight organization - Yellowstone Ultralights and Powered Parachutes
(ASC Club # 011) - started by Riders in the Sky - the club uses the Skyrider Flightpark as its base of operation, with a network of statewide associations as well. Riders in the Sky and powered parachuting in general is growing in the Big Sky Country.
Riders in the Sky is now developing a regional and national marketing plan. This plan will include the possibility of interested parties contacting Riders in the Sky to schedule dates to receive introductory flight training, advanced flight training, or other equipment sales or services, while visiting Montana for business or vacation purposes.
