Camp Fly Camp

[Virgil_Diesel]

Been awhile since my last post. This is my new hobby. Flying Paramotor. Click and check my youtube video below

Two more years 'til retirement then camp fly camp around North America pulling 8x16 feet trailer hauling my Airmax, two scooters and a UTV with my truck camper.


Camping at a towerless uncontrolled airfield in Tracy, CA




Extendible/Retractable pole for winsock attached to my trailer to monitor wind direction

The only caveat is, don't go too far downwind unless its a very calm day. 🙂

Blue Skies!

I did go far downwind and I couldn't go back to the Landing Zone about 5 miles away and I have to land on a private farm closer to main road. Manage to call someone to pick me up

Out of my 50 flight, I have one engine failure at 500 feet above ground and I glide down gracefully without incident. Luckily I was in an open field

What make and model do you fly?

I have the Blackhawk Paramotor Airmax 220

We recently saw a guy flying one over Norris Lake in TN and my husband shocked me by saying he really wants to do that. I even did a little research and found a place in Knoxville that gives parasailing etc lessons. I have GOT to show him your video.

what is the license requirements to run something like that? Also as a kid I remember a neighbor has one of those gyro copters, that thing was pretty cool also.

I'm thinking we were dry camping in the same area last February in the Foothills of Yuma.
