This will be the first-ever PPG event at Jack Barstow Airport in Midland, Michigan!

Join us June 11–14, 2026 for the 1st Annual Wing Thing Powered Paraglider Fly-In. This is a free event created to bring together pilots, spectators, future pilots, volunteers, ppg vendors, food vendors, and the powered paragliding community.

Come enjoy PPG flying, dry camping, pancake breakfast, BBQ, vendor displays, community, and a weekend built around supporting and growing the sport of powered paragliding.

This is a free event for pilots and spectators!

One cool thing Midland has to offer is an abundance of outdoor activities. Para-waiting doesn’t have to be boring. While you’re here, you can enjoy kayaking down the Tittabawassee River, bicycling on or off road, exploring the canopy walk at Dow Gardens, outdoor dining on Main Street, and more.

Water fill and waste dumping are available nearby at the Midland County Fairgrounds on Eastman Rd.

This is a recurring series — the next date is shown; see the event page for the full schedule.
