Paramotor event raises $6000 for Charity
On behalf of the entire fly-in committee, I want to extend our sincere appreciation for your registration and attendance.
The non-profit Palm Bay Paramotor Fly gives 100% of the proceeds, after expenses, to support the Palm Bay Police Department’s Victim Services Unit and the Police Explorers. Every penny spent – to purchase a cupcake, water, dinner, etc. goes straight to these programs.
Due to the extreme generosity of the pilots, friends and family, I am happy to report that this was $6,000.00 — funds that will go a long way in providing much needed assistance and recovery to help restore safety and security to crime victims and their children. Along with that, the Explorer program will continue to mentor, educate, and create our future leaders in law enforcement.
Please “save the date” for our 2016 annual Palm Bay Para Fly-in which will be held on April 22nd, 23rd, and 24th.
Again, thank you so much for choosing our event, sharing your love of the sport, and your generosity and support of two very impactful programs.
Blue skies and sunshine,
Dana Packard
Victim Services Manager
Palm Bay Police Department

2015 USPPA Convention PICTURES
Here are some pictures from this year’s USPPA Convention & Palm Bay Fly-in. Click on each for a larger version in a separate window. I was able to stroll around the field for about 2-3 hours capturing these images on Saturday morning, before I had to head out for the trek back to California. My apologies if I didn’t capture your image or perhaps I did and it didn’t expose correctly, either way it wasn’t intentional.
Hope you enjoy 🙂
