Pete Hobbs was medically discharged from the Army in 2012 after he nearly died from sepsis following surgery to his shoulder. He has permission to take off from land behind his home in Stapleford in Nottinghamshire. Pete said: "I can leave my problems on the ground. "It's almost as if stress and gravity don't have the same relationship I do with it. I can go up there that's fine but stress is like, 'argh no'."

**Paraglider Pilot** Make sure you subscribe and hit the bell, so you don't miss this show  Bri is a P3 pilot and is a northwest transplant currently living in Salt Lake City. By day she works in marketing and by sunrise and sunset she flies. She’s been flying for just over a year and a half and enjoys big wings, small wings, and tandems (passenger though, not pilot)! She’s been a handful of places to fly thus far including Colombia and Hawaii but you’ll primarily find her in the foothills of the Wasatch.  #paragliding #aviation #flysafe #girlsthatfly #utah #wisconsin #nebraska #mississippi #flying #saltlakecity #marketing #paramotor #generalaviation #sunrisefly #tandem

Takeo - Born in #chicocalifornia , he grew up in the South Bay of the #sanfrancisco  Bay Area.  Inherited an interest in remote control airplanes and helicoptors from his dad that culminated in joining the #usaf Reserve as a air transportation specialist in 1996.  In 2013 a friend bought a hang gliding lesson groupon and Takeo thought to tag along.  The friend quit after the first lesson and Takeo kept going!  3 years later his wife Masayo followed him into the sport.  In 2015 with hang gliding conquered Takeo returned to the world of #generalaviation  and soloed a 40 year old 7ECA #Citabria  To this day he flies #aerobatics  in his club's Super Decathlon.  To date, he has flown hang gliders in #japan,  #mexico and all around the US with an eye on making it a lifetime pursuit.  Masyo - She was born in #Matsuyama, Japan located on the Home Island of #Shikoku.  Developed an early interest in #aviation  which resulted in her taking a job at a local airport as a Passenger Service Agent.  Being surrounded by licensed professionals such as #pilots  and mechanics stirred in her a desire to pursue a similar path.  After diligently saving for 6 years she moved to the USA to pursue a #US FAA #Airframe&Powerplant license.   After completing a grueling 2 year program to finish out the license she got her degree in professional aeronautics from Embry-Riddle University.  With her husband pursuing #hanggliding , Masayo fulfilled the role of retrieval driver when she decided that she had the chops to fly herself.  Her first lesson was in June 2016 and was rated an intermediate pilot in April of 2018.  She is always recognizable aat flying sites for her bright, traffic-cone orange Wills Wing Sport 3-135.

My name is Jordan Honeyman. I’m 30 years old and have been in the paramotor world since 2008. Always been interested in aviation since a very young age. This was a great way to get involved with my dad when I was in high school. Nobody in my family was a pilot or into aviation so I was never able to be around aviation aside from movies and books. So I gravitated to PPG quite a bit. I have my Private Pilot License as well as I thought my career would take me that direction but just due to finances and other life and health factors, I stuck with PPG. I always though fixed wing was going to be main priority but in the past half decade, I’ve dedicated way more time to motoring than I ever thought I would. My full time job is for Appareo Aviation dealing with ADS-B equipment and more predominately Flight Data Recorders for commercial and medical aircraft. After I wrap work for the day, I start focusing on my other business with Braedin Butler and Alex Childers. Cache Valley Paramotor is our training and sales business for PPG. It’s been an absolute blast getting to teach and watch friends and new acquaintances understand and realize that they too can fly like we do. Getting to see those first flight smiles are what make it all worth it!

Let’s talk Paragliding this week …  Im a 39 year old sandwich generation working mom who decided it was time to take up paragliding after my twins had turned 3!  My family thinks I’m crazy and that’s not the only reason why.    Paragliding combines my love of nature, especially vistas, and my unnatural desire to run off a cliff side.  It has allowed me to reconnect with my best self and has taught me to never say never. (I hated earth science and now I’m obsessed with reading skew at diagrams and clouds)  When I’m not on launch or in the LZ, I’m trying to keep the gremlins alive, the husband happy, and my employer satisfied.  #paragliding #paraglidingpilot #paramotorgirl #NewJersey #girlpilots
