I guess I don't have enough posts to post a pic, but here's a short video of me flying my powered parachute. Yes, I fly at the speed of bugs, but it is tons of fun. I'm also a CFI and have given many check rides to to 707, 777, and 747 pilots and they have all said that they have the most fun flying in their powered parachutes.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

It all clicked today, I did about eight good touchdowns in a row and my CFI had me taxi to the tower and drop him off, and I did three more good landings to a full stop. Achievement unlocked. Didn't cut my shirt tail off or commemorate the occasion with a photo or anything... so here's a poorly cropped photo of the C172R I didn't crash today: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/149770/1A11EA7F-9A3C-44CE-8F30-AFE59F86DD20-2490873.jpg View Quote Awesome!

Thanks! I'd like to pass my Private check ride by the end of the year, should be plenty attainable if the weather keeps cooperating.
