Low Slow evening flight
What flying a powered parachute is really like.
You are in the wide open!
Your senses are exposed to not only the sights,
but the feel of wind on your face, and the
smells of sweetly scented fields of alfalfa,
emerald cornstalks and sun warmed straw.
we experience sweet calm evenings with a sinking sun on the horizon.
Sometimes called lawn chair flyers,we are an adventurous breed who fly low and slow.
At tree top level we see much more than pilots that are high and fast. We fly with the birds, at the same altitude,and at the same speed.
These photos, taken by Steve Russell, and myself, show just a few of the many amazing and beautiful things we see on every flight. Rick Leland
