Powered Paragliding Olympics
World Air Games 2009 Completes
The U.S. Paramotor Team has a respectable result for their first-ever
entry | Original Press Release
The pylons are packed, scores tabulated and pilots back in their respective
countries. It was an emotionally charged contest that provided the drama one
would expect when pilots put their best efforts forward. It was an
incredible blast, an enormous undertaking, stressful and rewarding. The July
Issue of UltraFlight magazine will have coverage and pictures.
Congrats to all three pilots, Jeff Goin, Chad Bastian and Stan Kasica
just returned from their 10-day Italian mission to represent our country.
David Rogers and his wife Carmen gave much-appreciated help as crew members.
This was a highlight of the pilots experience in paramotoring. Hopefully
others will choose to represent the U.S. and let shine some of the talent we
have to offer.
Thanks to those who contributed. We were able to offset their travel
expenses by just over $600. It means a lot to the pilots.
