powered parachute just flew over..

Recommended Posts

We have a guy that likes to fly his powered parachute just north of our DZ. Freaked me out one day when just shortly after the plane took off, I went out side and saw it there. Thought maybe there was an issue with the plane and someone bailed.

Also cause issues for our jumpers. Luckily its winter and cruising around at 1,000ft in 10F isn't much fun after awhile. Interesting to see what happens come summer.

There's been a helicopter flying over my jobsite all day. They're doing "test runs" on the heli-pad... Come on down and jump out on that. They've been staying stationery for the most part. It's actually pretty cool. B|

It's ON! Went out there waving my thumb.rig, and helmet.. he did a few swoops and landed and shut it down to talk to me. He offered a ride, but i wasn't dresses for the occasion. Damn. plus it's getting dark and that thing looks scary. He flies like a mad man.B| Said he dropped a few jumpers years ago. He just wanted more advice on how to do it right. This is sweet. He said he'll take me to 4000 feet if i want.

I'm having a really good day.:)

Thats nothing anyway.

When i worked at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge the C-130 would come past at least twice a week, nice and low.

It made me go outside everytime and just look at the fucker.
1338

People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

yawn...:P

i almost went with a PPG...but decided on the weight shift instead. more stability, able to handle turbulance a bit better, can fly in more conditions, and double the cruising speed.
