Instructors – Oxygen Paragliding Flight School

Klaus Schluter

Oxygen Paragliding Flight School Instructor Klaus SchluterKlaus first saw a paraglider in flight from the deck of his chalet while vacationing in Austria in 1989. Today, Klaus is a USHPA P5 Advanced Paragliding Instructor and Tandem Paragliding Instructor.  Having been involved heavily in a variety of other sports, paragliding seemed a natural fit.  "I skied in international competitions, climbed mountains in remote parts of the world, and was heavily involved with adventure sports; but when I first experienced paragliding I knew I'd found my calling . Since then I've flown on just about every continent."  For the last twenty years Klaus has been traveling abroad, teaching and promoting the sport. He's run a tandem paragliding operation in South Africa; flown cross country in Australia and South America; and spent 12 straight summers in France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.  Fluent in German and French, Klaus is also active in creating paragliding tours and partnering with various schools around the world in order to offer international venues for pilots wishing to learn their skills in far off lands.

Oxygen Paragliding Flight School Instructor Jonathan Legg
Jonny is Oxygen’s man in Los Angeles.  He holds instructor and tandem instructor ratings and has cut his teeth flying the world’s top sites ever since his boots first came off a training hill outside Bogota, Colombia in 1996.  Jonny also moonlights as an actor and has written several articles on travel and paragliding.  “What I love about Southern California is its abundance of world class sites and the strong sense of camaraderie amongst the pilots who fly them.  The goal of our school is to introduce you to the total experience of paragliding with an emphasis on safety and fun.  The idea is to get some thrills, adventure, and Zen into a day of flying and have a great group of guys to share your stories with back at the landing zone.”
