Thermal Valley is a service and retail business in its formative
stages for powerless flight. The company will be based near Lenoir, NC and have
a web presence. It is being organized to capitalize on the lack of hang gliding
(aero tow) instructional facilities within a seven hour drive from our base
location. Lookout Mountain is seven hours West, Kitty Hawk Kites is eight hours
to the East. In the Lenoir, NC area there is 5 mountain sites within a fifty
minute drive. The surrounding country side offers many training hill
opportunities. One time adventure flights will be the biggest income generator.
Initially, hang gliding will be the primary focus offering lessons, mountain
launch guide service, aero towing, scooter towing, cross country retrieval,
glider and equipment sales, glider and equipment service and storage, camping
and room rentals, food sales, and sport apparel. .
