The pilots are scheduled to take off from Nam Ngan Islet, soar southward over Bay Mau Coconut Forest, then loop over the fertile Cua Dai alluvial land.
The flight path continues along Cua Dai beach to An Bang, passing over the famed Tra Que rice fields, and then heading south toward Hoi An Memory Island Park before returning to Nam Ngan Islet for landing.
A highlight of the event includes a spectacular formation flight by 10 paragliders, proudly displaying the national flag as they glide through the air.
