Looking back on what I learnt from you I have a hard time believing just how much you taught us and how much stuck in such a short time!  I’m definitely going to recommend you as an instructor to my Peterborough peeps who sat on the sidelines dreaming of the someday that they start PPG.

Keep in touch,

See-Yong adds another 2 flights in his log book.

Not bad for someone who is 63 yrs old. He does have to stop landing on his ass though…

Sep 11/12  Stoney Creek Fly in – written by former student Paul Barker

Stoney has confirmed that the 22nd will be okay, so… the consensus rules, the 22nd it is. Andre Zeman of Powered Paragliding Ontario, has graciously agreed to fund the cost of the Port-A-Potty to take the strain off the Airport, so on behalf of everyone here, thanks much, Andre. I think we should maybe also, pass the hat, to the tune of five ten bucks, per pilot, to give to the EAA club, just to be gracious, for the use of the field, cutting the grass etc. making us welcome, etc.

Overnight camping is available onsite. Anyone who has any PPG related stuff for sale, bring it down, and we can see who’s interested. Tell your friends who may be interested in learning to fly to drop by and look things over.

Let’s hope for good weather.

Regards Paul Barker

Sep11/12    See-Yong – flight numero uno…

   

Yong has managed very nice forward inflation, great take off and handled him self in the air very well. Landed OK in no wind conditions but on his ass…. How about using your legs Yong? ;-)

Sep 10/12    Markus, Kiarash and See-Yong

Another great day at PPO. Markus added 3 more flights to his log book. Kiarash had a first solo flight in absolutely NIL wind conditions – thank you Cima K2 XL. See-Yong came all the way from Ottawa and started his course today. He was close to first solo flight but wind has died and we decided to wait till Tuesday.
