19 April  2008 - Back home in Sussex, NB -  We arrived back home in Sussex on Thursday and the weather is a bit chilly compare to Florida weather.  The Flying has been very good since we arrived back home, I've flown the Xcitor the Mini PPC several times.  We had also had local pilots fly off my field to enjoy the nice air!!  

                                                                  

14 April  2008 - Last day in Florida - The whole day was spend packing motors and gliders for our long trip back home.   We should be in Sussex, NB on Friday.  I'm looking forward to start Para motor training next week.  Marty took a picture of Mike's second birthday luncheon in Titusville on Saturday.  We have invited our good Florida friends to visit us in New Brunswick to fly around the Atlantic Coast the month of July and possibly PEI.  This visit to Florida was a great time with plenty of Flying and good weather to enjoy. Special thanks to the Eric, Elisabeth and the Florida Para-Flyers for making this stay a unforgettable one. We're already looking forward to next year!!  Frank & Johanne

                                                   

                                             

 

10 April  2008 - Meet the Electric Paramotor Designers - Yesterday, Eric Dufour and Jeff Goin flew the Electric Paramotor at Christmas, Florida.  Unfortunately we did not get an opportunity to see the Electric Paramotor this morning since it was shipped back to China.  However, the designers had a chance to watch Eric and Stan fly the Nomad Paramotors.  You can find information about the Electric Paramotor on the following websites:  www.footflyer.com and Electric PPG.com   Leslie was practicing her kitting skills given that she had her first foot launch take off yesterday morning after completing 100 trike flights.  Eric took Johanne up on the Excitor to take some pictures of the St John River before we headed back on the para barge.

                                                                              

               

  5 April  2008 - Paratour Fly-in  - Eric Dufour's  wife Elisabeth Guerin celebrated her 50th Birthday Day Fly-In today.  Saturday morning the Para barge transported a group of local and first time pilots to the St John River.  Then Mike BBQ hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch and the Glider Shop was decorated with balloons while David, Frank and others played their guitars for entertainment . The supper was catered in and later Michelle sang her PPG Song.  The evening went on with more story telling and good music.  Another great weekend flying with fellow PPG flyers. Next week we will be visiting the Sun & Fun event then preparing for the trip back home. Jo and I had met countless other PPG pilots this year and they'll be missed when we head back home,  especially the local Florida Para-Flyers.
