High Flight Heroes was founded by a mix of military veterans and American patriots who share a common goal of providing Veterans and First-Responders exhilarating outdoor experiences as thanks for their selfless service.  Our name pays homage to the famous poem written by World War II fighter pilot John Gillespie Magee Jr. He describes the feeling of escaping the surly bonds of earth and dancing the skies on laughter-silvered wings, where for a moment, the mind is silenced and lifted into the untrespassed sanctity of space. We find solace in this depiction, the mountains being our sanctuary and the sled our wings to find that escape. We believe this throttle therapy is the greatest gift we can give to those who have sacrificed for others.
