Powered Parachute

Yesterday as we were driving along, I looked up in the sky and saw somebody taking a ride in a powered parachute.  It seemed like just the thing to be doing on a balmy February afternoon!  I enjoyed my p.p. ride back in 2008 in Minnesota.  Here are a few pics from the archives.

It was a bit windy on that May day, so Keith decided to go up solo first.

Up, up and away!

The verdict: It was safe enough for me to go up.  Yay!

Slightly chilled but still smiling (a lot)

If you ever get the chance to go up in one, I highly recommend it!
