Just another spectacular view of the McHenry county countryside from the other day flying my powered parachute. My first flight of significant length in almost a year.

So I took time off of work and what did I do, I flew over to where I work. Boring photo so I won't share, but I also flew over to the hospital to "visit" someone there. Now this is cool! I believe it is next to Tom's Farm Market by Centegra Hospital.

It would be nice to be flying more often, but somehow, life just gets in the way.

It's been 3 months, but I WENT FLYING Friday! Geneva Lake in Lake Geneva is thawed in the middle and frozen on each end. I never knew that.

I am not going to buy an airplane. I am not going to buy a Porsche. Maybe, getting the Private Pilot Helicopter rating is possible after looking at this chart. Hmmm, something to ponder depending on how things go in the next few months.

You know how you can fly a path and make a design? I think I am going to try to do that this year both in the Powered Parachute and in the Airplane. Should make flying a little more fun all while brushing up on piloting skills and flight planning. And no, it will be on a much smaller scale than what Boeing did.

Which came first, the wine or the wing? The donkey is holding a bottle of wine while flying a powered parachute because I dabble in home wine making. The original Wild Donkey logo was redesigned a couple years after I obtained my Powered Parachute pilot certificate to incorporate both flying and wine making into one logo. The joke of the original logo was that the ass couldn't kick anything, it looked half dead.
