dreams of flight...
Narrowing down equipment, training, and financing. 43,59,25,0,B,.14
John like you I decided a few years ago a para plane was something I had to have after I went for a "training " flight in a two seater with a guy in Blum Texas that sells and trains on them. I fell in love with the experience. But I finally decided against buying my own when I looked at how many weekends (I work Monday thru Friday) I could actually fly. The show stopper was the wind. As I'm sure you know if you want to not kill yourself you need less than 10mph I think. Now when I retire and my schedule is more " relaxed" like yours it might make sense for me as I could go up whenever there's that perfect day.
I was going to be smart and send you some interesting ways to finish out a container for living space. The very first thing that came up on a search was this. John your becoming bigger and bigger.
This is the first sentence from an article about you.
"Modern day pioneer John Wells is doing some interesting work in Alpine, Texas."
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy. See the link below for more info.
That looks like fun. Looking forward to pictures from the flight deck.

Very cool John.
