Expanding Connectivity!

---

All-Day service means we've set aside our entire day for your flying, so we're not weighing the value of bailing for other potential clients. This service is all inclusive, uniquely providing the specific needs of back country flying. Plus we doubt your Uber driver will photograph/film your landing and cheers you with a victory drink! Why is this better than a rideshare service? Because it's not one!

That can be expected, it happens to everyone. You aren't being charged for distance covered until we breach 100km, so we'll be happy to help you try again. Our chase only begins in earnest when you break an agreed upon and established geo-fence, at which point we'll assume the chase is on! So if what our service means to you is laps all day at Lookout, we've got you covered! (Group deals for local lapping! $50 for one pilot, then only $10 per additional pilot. Which means $80 gets 4 pilots a whole day of car trips to the top, plan and split accordingly! Anyone trying to break some mini-wing or speed-wing lap records?)

We like to secure a deposit the day you book once your appointment is confirmed (50% your Chase Fee, electronically via Paypal or Venmo). Then we finish up payment the day of your flight. We'll resume cash payments as soon as we're all vaccinated, we promise!

Our Chasers are prepared to handle some seriously demanding First-Response scenarios. If you've suffered an incident, know we're on the way to you, 911 has been called, and we'll take the best possible care of you. If a fellow pilot other than yourself suffers an incident, we understand the call to action, and will adjust our day to collaborate with you an effective SAR to accommodate your companion. Safety is our primary concern.

We all aim for green pastures, but sometimes we're not as lucky. If you've found yourself up in a tree, DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR HARNESS. Radio or phone us if you're able, hopefully we had eyes on you. It won't be fun and it may take a while, but we've got all the equipment we need to safely top out a 50ft tree to help release you and your glider. We've got the patience and expertise to disconnect and store your lines to facilitate a more feasible retrieval of your wing. We're happy to help, but this tedious favor will come at an additional fee of $50 an hour. This goes for shrubs and bushes as well! Our Chasers are paid by distance not time, please be considerate when taking flight risks. Chasers will take the absolute best care possible, but are not responsible for retrieval damages to tree-bound equipment. 

We've got the gear, and it's right up our alley. If you've safely made it down and want help getting your gear out, we're happy to assist with that as well. The primary kink to hammer out here will be our availability. If your gear is lodged in a tree some where, shoot us a message ASAP. If we've got the time, we'd be happy to come help you out however we will need to charge for the day to make it worth our time. $60 + $50/hr. spent to retrieve your rig. $110 may be a steep minimum, but you may find that's merely a fraction of what other arborist's charge. We have limited physical mechanical equipment and our tree retrievals will be limited to trees that can support our climbing weight. In rare circumstances, in especially tall or spindly trees, SAR retrieval will be required to have a chopper with a ropes crew come pluck your gear out. [Expensive, but it's been done] We are unable to offer refunds for unsuccessful tree retrievals, but you have our word we are absolutely dedicated to you, your gear, and the tree's preservation in the event you call on us. 

Our Chasers are equipped with 5G wireless and Satellite tracking equipment. We will be using XC-Track side by side a Garmin In-Reach Explorer+, and a 65w mobile HAM radio to keep the closest tabs possible. It is mandatory for satellite tracking and I.C.E. that you fly with a Garmin In-Reach. Copy and paste this link to see what that will look like when we go to set that tracking up:

As far as launching is concerned, for the time being, yes. But destination? Go as far as you possibly can, by all means! If we're chasing you and wind up in Wyoming, there's a slim chance you made it there without planning on it, so be sure to discuss your flight plan with us in terms of the very-best-case-scenario, so we're prepared with food, gas, or otherwise. In the event you'd like to schedule a flying trip near or far, we would be happy to discuss pricing and accommodations. If you love what we do, and want us to join you, let's make it happen!

Our Chasers are Colorado pilots like many of you, and have seen their fair share of Colorado Launch sites. We'll be happy to take a hike with you to launch if necessary, to ensure a safe launch, as well as provide site orientation anywhere we've got sufficient beta to do so. No, we won't carry your gear up, but we'd be happy to carry a tarp down if you've brought one. 

We currently only service designated launch sites than can be accessed legally. As for landing, keep track of your location and be sure to have closely examined private property lines along your planned route. We can orchestrate a rescue in emergency scenarios, but will avoid crossing private property lines unless absolutely necessary to save a life. 

We are proud to offer our services to pilots visiting Colorado from all around the globe. We're simply paying homage to the origins of our sport by using French phrases, and using the metric system makes things a whole lot easier for all non-American pilots (most pilots) 

Quick conversion: [100km is about 62 miles, 100 miles is around 160km.]

Been getting a lot of retrieve requests, we're glad folks are considering us! Without going into the logistics of why that's a complicated request, we would like to forgo the need to tell a dozen pilots every bomber day that we can't come help you, and instead iterate here that we are a chase service. No one would be stepping on our toes creating a cross country retrieve service, that's simply not our business. We offer a unique service that consists of a whole lot more than just a ride. When you book a chase with us you're hiring a first responder with climbing equipment to drive beneath you, prepared to pluck you out of a tree and save your life, which hopefully doesn't happen to you... But it does happen. We are in the group chats so we know when a bomber day is coming just like you do, reach out to us the day before, you won't regret it. Our ground time is just as valuable as your air time! Booking a chase minimizes your wait, and maximizes your safety.
