Saturday morning started with an amazing tandem with Holly from Nova Scotia. Holly was hit by a drunk driver 6 years ago and lost the use of her legs, but that didn't take away her desire to fly like a bird. We rigged up an interesting looking "sled" to keep her legs up for landing and it worked magnificently. Thanks to the help from a number of other paragliding and hang gliding pilots, the launch was smooth, the flight magical and the landing, well, a bit splashy (we skidded in to a puddle on the runway). Holly was grinning from ear to ear as was everyone else. Thanks for coming to fly with us Holly!
Two students graduated as well. The cool thing is that they are stepbrothers. Great job Joey and Jacint!
And on Monday the flight park was full of free flyers. Nine hang glider pilots and over 20 paraglider pilots including some tandem flights. The conditions were super and there were lots of smiling pilots! Great way to finish the long weekend.  Busy Coopers launch

An absolutely amazing experience with amazing people!!! 7/18/2018 08:23:17 am
I remember wanting to be able to fly an airplane when I was a little kid. For some reasons, we weren't afraid of anything when we were very young. I am not even afraid of road accidents because I have this vision of being able to stand up in the middle of the highway right after an accident. Surprisingly, I don't recall feeling any pain and this maybe is the reason why I haven't developed any fear. The older we get, the more we learn and experience our bodies limitations. Today when I think about flying, I can't seem to remove thoughts of a fatal crash inside my head. 6/25/2018 02:48:17 am
Everybody loves the long weekend. For someone like me who hasn't had a real job in the last five years, it's really nothing special. For me it has always been like that. There's nothing unusual. I can still go to places where people who needs to go to work cannot go. And when I do, I don't even appreciate the fact that it's not crowded because I am actually beginning to miss seeing people. Every time I have a chance to to visit a corporate place, that's when I usually get excited because it feels like real work to me. Maybe I miss working. Leave a Reply. |
