Learning through paragliding
https://FlyingThroughHighSchool.com/about/
One of those passions is paragliding, which started when I first
went tandem at age three. Since that first flight, my eyes were always turned to
the sky. I was told I could start flying solo when I reached 100 pounds. For
years I weighed myself, counting down the time until I could fly on my own. When
I reached the weight requirement, we started training. Being the good father
that he is, my dad decided he would learn to fly alongside me. This wasnt his
first experience with aviation, though. He has been flying planes since he was a
teenager. We traveled to the Point of the Mountain in Draper, Utah to get an
introduction to solo paragliding. After a week in Utah, and several weeks in
Colorado, we were signed off as P2 pilots. Three years later, we have over 150
flights each.
Thanks to my new education plan, we get the opportunity to travel to paraglide.
Once a month we will embark to a new location. In the past, our paragliding
travel has been limited, and only in the United States. Im excited to explore
the world through the eyes of a pilot.
Thanks to the USHPA.
