BACK WHEN I WAS STARTING TO FLY THERE WERE A MIX OF OPEN COCKPIT AND
ENCLOSED COCKPIT PLANES A MOST LOCAL AIRPORTS AND I ALWAYS ENJOYED THE
OPEN COCKPIT THE MOST. ( I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A DOZEN OR SO AND PUT THEM IN
STORAGE )
BUT THE FLYING LESSONS WERE $8.00 AN HOUR AND I COULD ONLY AFFORD A HALF
HOUR A WEEK.
NOW DAYS IF YOU HAVE A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BUY A
RIDE IN A OPEN COCKPIT PLANE. OR IF YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BUY ONE!!
BUT NOW I HAVE DISCOVERED POWERED PARACHUTES AND IT DOESN'T GET ANY MORE
OPEN THAN THIS. YOU CAN CLIMB TO ALTITUDE AND ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE
MANY MILES OR YOU CAN FLY AROUND JUST ABOVE THE GROUND AND GET THE MAGIC
CARPET FEELING.
THERE ARE ALSO THE SOCIAL ASPECTS. WE HAVE MADE SOME VERY GOOD FRIENDS
AND LOOK FORWARD TO THEM COMING TO FLY AT CAMELOT.
WE HOPE YOU WILL DROP IN AND CHECK IT OUT?
