Labor Day 2003 my father and I, along with several other ultralight pilots from Grants Pass, flew a short distance to the Powers, Oregon grass strip for a weekend of camping and beach sorties. Here are the pics:

Looks like fun, any time you mix aircraft, friends and camping together. I can't wait to go out ice-fishing!!!

Looks like it was fun. That's what it's ALL ABOUT!

Seeing those pictures, I want an ultralight again. I bought a Flightstar in 1980 and sold it in 1992 with 400 hours on it. Then in 1995 I bought a Kolb and put 100 hours on it before it was sold. I gotta admit it's as much fun as any airplane.

I've done quite a bit of ultralight flying, and have also had my PPL for a few years now. I enjoy the coziness and protected cockpit of the Cessnas i fly, but there is nothing like the purity of flying open cockpit ultralights. True stick and rudder, no instruments, stall speed of 27mph(on the Quicksilver.) I think it not only makes me a better pilot but reminds me why I love flying.
