Wyatt has worked really hard over the last few years on kiting and obtained his P2 PG from Chandler Papas of Desert Wind Paragliding. He has been flying PG for a while and just recently got lucky when his Dad just couldn't turn down a sweet deal on a MiniPlane paramotor from Mo Sheldon of AirparaMo. Wyatt made it look too darn easy, like he has been doing it for years. Well, he has, 99% of PPG is knowing exactly what to do with the paraglider and how to handle it properly. The other 1% is how to use the throttle. Great Job Wyatt, You Are One Lucky Dude!

  • Great job Wyatt...62yrs old here, tried PPG, but legs couldn't take it...So I fly a 1992 Para Plane PPC, and relax sitting in the trike...

  • Wyatt I am so proud to see you accomplish this. I have seen you work on your skills and I know your dad is so proud.  Captain John Black

  • Congrats Wyatt, you look like you have been flying PPG for a couple of years. Great Job. Now you have to get a job to pay for that setup, hehehe.
