With a little help from my friends

Posted on February 29, 2012 in Glenn Tupper   

They say this is God’s Country. The Colorado landscape is breathtaking, I think God spent a little more time crafting here and it shows. Recently I was sent here for work but spent some time with some of the local pilots. It’s an amazing thing when someone you barely know entrusts you with one of their most prized possessions; their paramotor. That says a lot for what a great sport we take partake in, the kindness and consideration that we all share, the desire to see all of our fellow aviators take to the air. Mike Bennett and Alex Donaghy were kind enough to lend me their engines and it was almost as if their joy came from seeing me, a lone pilot so far away from home with no wings to get into the air. They, like so many others, know what it means for all of us to leave the ground and I can鈥檛 thank them and all the pilots from Denver, the FRF Paramotor Squadron and the boys from Pikes Peak PPG Club enough for taking me in and showing me once again the amazing camaraderie this sport has to offer. Blue Skies my friends!
