Powered Parachute Solo Flight

This is a video of me doing my very first solo flight at the age of 14. Taken on August 14th 2010 at the KIKK airport in Kankakee, IL. I do not need a license to fly this because this particular aircraft is under what is called the "FAR 103" FAA rules. This rules allows people my age to fly these types of aircraft. PPC is a Phoenix which has gone out of business. Thank you Mr. Jim Leon for teaching me the gift of flight!

@sheemsheem You can find a good new PPC for 12k. I would honestly say that these require as much money as someone who takes good care of their car. However, you have to spend much more time maintaining these because you are placing your life in it.

You're a natural pilot. Excellent control with the touch 'n go's! Enjoyed this a lot.

AWESOME job, Landon!!! I'd fly with you any day, my man. Great job there and quite an amazing accomplishment for a young man your age too. You were definitely born with wings. I'm gonna favorite this one for sure. Fly safe and many happy landings!
