I had an opportunity to go fly my bird with an old friend this past weekend.  Bryan is into paramotoring.  These guys fly anywhere from 10' to 5000'+ riding a parachute with a 2 stroke engine and propeller strapped to their backs.  Of course my bird can only fly to 400' per the FAA, but getting some shots of them flying was my mission.  I love the colors of the parachutes.  Reminds me of hot air balloons.  I took some video at the locations we visited, and came up with this.  Hope you enjoy it.

Hello World!

Hi, I'm Uncle Jas from the Lone Star State.  I've recently started a new hobby.  It's not often I do, but this one is exciting for me.  It caters to my desire to travel, dabble in videography & photography, to expand my gadget collection, and to FLY.  I've always wondered what it'd be like to fly a plane, or just skim across the sky in a vehicle that was safe.  I have a friend who got into paramotoring a few years ago.  I entertained the idea of joining him in the skies for about one microsecond before my acrophobia overwhelmed my critical thinking.  Also, an in-law brought his DJI Phantom 2 to a holiday gathering one day and showed us all how it worked.  I was amazed, but hesitant to jump on the bandwagon.  Call me a late bloomer.  Call me a pessimist.  Call me a doctor, I've got the bug.
