We kept the flight marathon going strong. Not only were we extremely active over the weekend, but we carried the momentum right into Monday with another day of perfect weather and a packed house full of pilots, friends, and paramotor enthusiasts.
The Kamikaze pilots and family were fully represented…
- Mario Muñiz and his wife Ivonne
- Nixon Porrata
- Edgardo Rivera
- Reynel Fermaint
- Scott Sansone
- Abel Bonilla
- Javier González
- Pedro Gregory
- Luis Ruiz
Kicking off the morning…
The day’s activities started early with students Abel and Javier pushing hard through their wing inflation practice sessions.
While training was underway, we welcomed special friends visiting all the way from El Salvador, ready to experience the thrill of flight for themselves — Fernando, Pewee, Gustavo, Jacqueline, and Ana. The pilots Luis and Edgardo took charge of making those tandem flights happen, delivering unforgettable experiences in the skies.
And our friends from El Salvador weren’t the only ones flying that day…
277 Pounds of Pure Challenge!
After wrapping up our tandem commitments, we decided to take advantage of the prepared equipment and attempt a flight that would set a milestone in Puerto Rico. Edgardo, weighing 175 pounds, attempted a tandem paramotor flight carrying the student Abel, who currently weighs in at 277 pounds.
And guess what? They did it!
They successfully launched and made history, proving once again that determination, skill, and teamwork can push limits beyond expectations.
On top of that, Nixon Porrata started practicing tandem flight operations (he used to help Luis, long years ago), first taking Pedro Gregory up for a flight and later flying with Edgardo Rivera as well.
