Power Parachuting - Complete Awesomeness
So my friend at work called last night and asked if Landry and I wanted to go flying on a power parachute (this guy has all kinds of connections!) and we told him that we would fly any time, any place. He told us to head out to Eagle Mountain at 8:30 a.m. and we would get our chance.
Power Parachute Before Take-Off
Our pilot was Kent Price. He’s been flying these things for 20 years or so and he’s a licensed power parachute instructor here in Utah. He flew us all over the west side of Eagle Mountain and we loved every minute of it!
The parachute or wing
We used a sod farm as our runway and we took off and landed there.
From 750 feet!

If you have the means or if you get the chance to go fly on a power parachute, do it! It is an amazing experience.

Great pictures, Kent price was my instructor, I can recommend Kent to anyone wanting to learn PPCs (owered ParaChutes) Any day I spend time in a PPC is a good day.
