The Flying Crocodile Flying center was found 1993 as one of the first place in Costa Rica operating Ultra light Aircraft. We started with Trikes, 2 years later with fixed wing and since 2007 we are operating as well Auto Gyros. In 2005 we formed Ultralight Tour Cooperation which provides Ultra light operation in Uvita, Tambor, Samara and Tamarindo and holding the first commercial permission issued by the local authorities.
