He was super stoked to be in the air, but was just as stoked to be around all you guys and girls. It is to step back and look around at our gang when we are doing our thing. I am impressed with all of you and am proud to share my addiction with you.<br /> After about 30 minutes at the cooling altitudes, I asked my Dad if we should land. He asked my why, we have nowhere else we want to go. I flew him until almost dark.<br /><br />I told him to keep his feet up on landing, and did a nice flare onto my feet. Unfortunately, he had 2 feet more until the ground and bumped on his butt.<br /><br />He was telling everyone, that we crashed on takeoff and crashed on landing, and it seems he had more fun because of it (we must be related).<br /><br />On the way home he told me that he wanted to take up paragliding for himself, I think he was serious. You guys better start lifting weights and I am going have to buy a truckload of beer.<br /><br />Thanks all.firedavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898944174570618448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-79900963904630478592009-09-15T11:36:40.394-10:002009-09-15T11:36:40.394-10:00Nice writeup, Thom!

Thom, I remember you as a novice! Way to go! I visited while on assignment, critiquing web sites and this one is outstanding, thanks to Alex! So much better than other PG web sites! I don't visit often, though, because it makes me homesick! Flapper called yesterday to urge me over there next month! Hope I can join him!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486902224795684575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-51288819160945386062009-09-15T03:32:16.783-10:002009-09-15T03:32:16.783-10:00Thom, I have also had the opportunity to meet Dave...Thom, I have also had the opportunity to meet Dave's father when he flew with him sometime last year. I now know where Dave gets his get up and go from! I also started flying relatively late (39), and if I can keep from messing up any ACRO, plan to fly for a very very long time.<br /><br />See all you cats when I come back for ten days in November! <br /><br />JonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-26562679769075818512009-09-15T00:06:39.260-10:002009-09-15T00:06:39.260-10:00Alex if you have some other pics feel add them in...Alex if you have some other pics feel add them in.Thomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508629374134042936noreply@blogger.com
