Like almost everywhere I have traveled I meet people who then put me in contact with other people. Niel Burnette put me in touch with Noor who in turn connected a group of us that included Eric, Max, Doug and Matt Minyard. The PPG Force is indeed strong in many!
My official flight took place with Noor, Eric, and Max at the Bucktown Marina New Orleans Louisana.
We were also ‘stalked’ in the words of Joel and his wife Stephanie who is interested in becoming Paramotor pilots. 50xChallenge Pilot Harley Milne gave them an opportunity to put the motor on their backs and feel the power that the motor puts out.
On Monday, I met up with Matt Minyard who had some spare props and spacers I needed. From there we traveled to Abita.
It was almost like a mini fly-in yesterday here at Greater St. Tammany Regional Airport, Abita Springs, LA 9 pilots and 2 in training.

Louisana was an absolute blast and had many highlights which included New Orleans, LSU Championship win and connecting with so many local paramotor pilots including Matt Minyard.
