Santa Siting
Roger Messerly of Fort Dodge, IA, looked up to find Santa Claus flying his paramotor. After a quick display of milk and cookies, Roger was able to get his machine back. Must have been a warm-up flight and, no doubt, Santa’s gone feed the deer nothing but the best synthetic this year.
Santa was out for this practice run on “Black Friday” and reported a fun practice flight, with kids a waving. He also commented “you haven’t lived until you’ve pulled off a no-wind forward in a full blown santa suit on a snowy field.”
Apparently the newspaper thought it was pretty cool, too!

Car Kiting
I live in Fredericton, N.B., Canada. The father of one of my flying buddies, Dave Bradley, owns the nearby “Weyman Air Park” where we fly from regularly. On Nov. 1, 2008, flying conditions got a bit rowdy. It was too early to go home, so we decided to “ham it up” and show a new form of ground handling.
We attached the risers to the inside door handles. Dave, as Captain (driver) controlled the left brake, and I, as First Officer (passenger) did double duty with the right brake while reporting the wing condition. Thanks to Glen Boyd for sharing.
