Finally we had excellent weekend weather, to fly and practice for the school students…

In the morning, Luis Ruiz met with the student/pilot Miguel Orona, and Abdiel Galarza accompanied by his family. Later in the day, arrive to the activity, Shirley Hernández and her husband Jesús, and Iván Torres with his son Caleb.
Shirley kept practicing on ground with the paraglider, while Miguel goes flying, this time at over 1,000 feet high.
Iván Torres also flew in the afternoon, testing one of Luis Paramotors.
In the case of Luis Ruiz, he was testing equipment, and later in the day, he carried out the introductory flights to the sport of Marcelino Ortiz, who arrived from the town of Naranjito, and later from Dariel Santiago, both are interested in starting their training in the near future. We will keep you informed if this indeed materializes.
Sunday, April 13, 2025…
This time the conditions were good, but different from the previous day. Today was cloudy most of the day, and winds were coming gently from the NNW at 5 mph. This is ideal for flying, but not for taking off.
Present were the pilots and students, Danis Rodríguez, Chino Morales, Kris and Rebecca, Randy Kester, Pablo Cruz and his wife Millie, Ricky González and his wife Ermelinda, Sammy Badillo, Luis Ruiz and his son Noah, Iván Torres and his son Caleb and the possible student José Lebron, a native of Manatí.
The Action…
The pilots Danis, Chino and Sammy were flying together in “Cross” arriving at Jobos Beach and, in the same flight , also at Guajataca on the border of Quebradillas/Isabela. Pablo and Ricky were also flying around.
For their part, Kris and Rebecca were training hard. This time, both were with Paramotors on their backs, attempting their first takeoffs. This time, however, the conditions to Take Off were very difficult and we decided to postpone the attempts and first flights for future days.
Luis Ruiz, for his part, went out to fly with his son Noah, and he took the flight controls for much of the route. His happy face said it all… God Bless!!!
Then, in the afternoon, Ivan Torres arrived with his son Caleb. After some play around from the kids, it was time to gets some Training with the Paraglider. Check here, how they manage to do it, with the instructions of Ivan. Priceless moment!!!
