Longest Winter Ever!

Posted on May 09, 2013 in Othar Lawrence   

At the beginning of December my girlfriend and I decided to renovate the house. Dang, talk about bitting off more than you can chew. Well after a few months of working long shifts on the house I was finally in a place to get out and go flying, that was about two months ago. Problem with that is the weather in Chicago was having no part of being done with cold, rain, snow and wind. So I waited, and waited, then the house flooded, and I waited some more. Check out the attached photos of flying over the floodwaters.

Then bam, this week it turned on. I’ve been sneaking in a quick flight here or there since last fall but this week marked the first week I have flown every day. Finally!! Things are back to normal, just in time I might add. Last week I shipped my Zenith to Brazil and today I shipped my Volution to California.

This weekend I’ll be performing at the Red Bull X-Fighters in Southern California, then ship the Volution to Baltimore, Maryland where my teammate, Chris Santa, and I will be performing at the Preakness Horse Race. The Preakness is second only to the Kentucky Derby in US horse racing and it’s the second stop of the Triple Crown tour. Then Santa and I are straight off to Brazil to hook up with our Zeniths and the rest of the Red Bull Air Force boys for some aerial madness in the skies over Rio.

Well that takes care of May! Check back for updates on this months’s travels and future plans.
