Drop in visit

I had just pulled up in my truck to the Funny Farm the other week when I heard that familiar sound of a PPC flying. I finally caught a glimpse of one coming over the trees and reconized it as Jerry Claytor. Jerry and his wife were up enjoying the perfect flying weather and decided to stop by for a quick visit. I have spoke with Jeff Jenson and hopefully will start my Sport Pilot training in the next couple months. I believe their will be around 3-5 people training when I go through and maybe we will be able to help each other get through it. I grabbed the camera and got Jerry and his wife taking off to go back home.

Finally got the videos from YOUTUBE that Kiwi made

Here are some of the videos John has been working on. I think I might have finally figured out how to get them on this site. Great job on the videos Kiwi, keep them coming.

New videos on YouTube by Kiwi

Kiwi has been busy working on putting together videos for the site and unfortunately I am unable to put them on here, something about unable to put movies on here. He did a great job on the videos and I know they will only get better. If you would like to see them you can on YouTube.com and just type in search for powered parachute. We are all still working on getting our sport pilot ratings, but with the limited amount of instructors close we have our hands tied. It looks like right now we would have to travel out west to get everything done, but hopefully we will get some instructors closer soon.

Wild and Crazy Video

Here is a video I found on YouTube with some crazy PPC flying. I have never seen anyone hang from the bottom of a PPC before. I don't believe you will ever see me hanging out of my machine, but I have to admit it looks like fun.

Finally in the air again

Got to fly today for about 15 minutes and it was great to get back up again. It has been quite a while since I was up, and I have to admit it was just like the first time. It was very smooth flight under 400 feet, but anything above seemed to get quite bumpy. Noah was on the ground to supervise, and after I landed he jumped in the pilots seat to take me up. I can't wait till he is old enough to go up to see if he likes it like I do. After getting up in the air I remembered how much I love flying, and decided I needed to get up in the air more frequently.
