Our team
Ted Hurley
Ted is an advanced instructor who has been teaching hang gliding since 2012. Driven by his love for freeflight he has been working full time as a hang gliding instructor or tandem pilot since 2014. He moved to the Salt Lake City area from Lookout Mountain Flight Park in Georgia in 2019 to take over where Pat McGuinness left off with his Wings Over Wasatch Hang Gliding school.
Beyond flying hang gliders and teaching others to fly, Ted is an avid snowboarder, and enjoys paragliding, backpacking, rock climbing, d&d, and mountain biking.
Joe Bedinghaus
Joe started hang gliding in 2012 and has been in the sport professionally since then. Joe has flown all over the world working at several locations in the US, New Zealand, and Switzerland. All told he has flown more than 5,000 tandem flights, even so he loves the sport enough you'll likely find him in the air on his days off or when no passengers can be found.
Becca Tellar
Becca started hang gliding during the Summer of 2012 when her Miami to Montreal XC bike trip was disrupted by tornado warnings in North Carolina's Outer Banks. She has since worked as a glider technician, harness manufacturer, sales rep/reservationist, and was the operations manager at the largest flight park in the country until she moved to Salt Lake City in late 2019.
