About the Business
Welcome to Empire PPG, your premier destination for all things paramotoring, located at 120 Foster Road, Marathon, New York 13803, United States. If you've ever dreamt of soaring through the skies, breaking the bounds of Earth, and experiencing the exhilaration of flight, you've come to the right place. Our mission is to turn your dreams into reality, offering top-notch flight training and experiences in the thrilling world of Powered Paragliding (PPG).
PPG is an exhilarating form of recreational aviation that combines a paraglider wing with a lightweight motorized backpack unit, allowing pilots to take off and land on their feet. This unique and accessible way to experience the freedom of flight is perfect for those seeking adventure and a new perspective on the world.
After realizing the profound impact our temporary closure had on the region, we are excited to announce that Empire PPG will be reopening in the Spring of 2025 with exciting new plans. Our courses will be priced lower than before, with smaller class sizes to ensure personalized attention and a focus on safe, effective first-year flying.
Please note that we will no longer be carrying the Nirvana line of paramotors. While they are a great upgrade option, our emphasis remains on providing safe and effective training for beginners. For those interested in advanced equipment, we recommend reaching out to the good folks at Austin Paramotor.
We are now booking for the 2024 season, and spots fill quickly, so be sure to set your date early! Join us at Empire PPG to embark on an unforgettable journey into the skies. We look forward to helping you achieve your flight dreams!

"I made a reservation for trike training made in January paid double the deposit and waited to start in May he held my deposit and then cancelled me I was supposed to start the 13th he cancelled on the 12th I was supposed to be in the 1st set of students his excuse was he wouldn't be able to play catch-up after cancelling me he's not a man of his word by any means he gives you a starting date but if you have a weather issue during your week he doesn't work with you and just drops you so he can get to the next set of students if you were to cancel he keep your deposit but if he does it tuff luck for you and good luck trying to find a school that isn't booked up because you trusted him and he never mentioned anything about your week is all you have rain or shine in my business I could never do that to a customer I give my word it's as good as gold it doesn't matter to him at all and never mentioned anything about closing up shop he should go to work for joe Biden"

"Empire PPG and Mike Austin are an absolute asset to the sport of Powered Paragliding in New York. He's super knowledgeable and dedicated to safely helping prospective pilots get in the air! Flying was 1 of about 5 items on my bucket list, and without Mike Austin's firm encouragement, I'm not sure it would have happened. If you have the desire and dedication to learn to pilot one of the most accessible and fun aircrafts available, look no further than Empire PPG!"
"Great facility, georgous location to fly inland, and professional instruction. I hadn't flown in several years and was looking to shake off the cobwebs and review everything start to finish. Bill and Mike were methodical and helped me rebuild my confidence. Especially appreciative of the time they took to help me troubleshoot and tweak my rig. Many thanks, will be back!"
"I was looking for a safe place to get try to get more flights in, so I reached out to Mike and asked him if he would consider letting me use his field. Not only was Mike kind enough to let me fly in his field, he even helped me fix my motor and gave me some tips for take off. In my experience, Mike has been nothing but kind, gracious, and helpful. I am very grateful to Mike, and I think we're lucky to have him in the PPG community."
