Meet Joey and Erin Sibley - We trained at FlyPPG June '22 for our honeymoon 🥰 we had done sky diving, which was expensive and inconvenient. We did para gliding in Colorado, but we don't have mountains here, so we decided we needed to put a huge motor on our backs 🤣 we love to adventure together and face new challenges. We've climbed most of a 14er, jumped out of planes, gone zip lining, and countless other adventures. Joey is truly my best friend and my favorite person. Life is definitely...

I grew up watching the birds from the moment I could form memories, always wishing I could be up there with them. I have memories of building model planes and white wings, playing in the backyard with foamies, watching the planes land and take off from Piper Memorial Airport in Lock Haven, PA, all with dad. We shared a fondness for aviation. In college, I pursued my pilot's license with the intent to fly commercially. Got my PPL in the summer between freshmen and sophomore year in 2004. It...

Let's meet Aaron Eye... Took my first flight when I was 8, the guy actually let me fly the plane and I was hooked! I started flying in 2015. I received my Sport pilot checkride in 2016 with only 24 hours! Lowest time pilot the school had ever had. In 2017 I bought a Cherokee with a friend to get our privates in. We sold it last year and I've just been solid Ppg since then, even though I have a couple quicksilvers. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jade-lear/message

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...

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...
