It is surprising how much even a light breeze can effect them. Though I don't mind flying in aircraft, I climb small radio towers, in the last twenty years or so I have become terrified of heights. I have to fight my fear to climb anymore. I doubt I could do the PPG flight. I look forward to your videos of your experiences.Under The SC Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12491410537035367715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-14428027343176218752014-01-01T20:31:54.001-06:002014-01-01T20:31:54.001-06:00Happy New Year John.

That was a good rain total for the year, I know you want the rain but you may have broken the vortex.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271167105794717739noreply@blogger.com
