Our house backs up to a very small airport. I love watching all the various kinds of small aircraft that take off from here. I am attaching two of them, a powered paraglider and a pontoon ultralight. My terminology may not be exactly right, but I'm sure someone will correct any mistakes.
Powered Paraglider
Ultralight with Pontoons
If only they did it as effortlessly (and quietly) as the feather wearing kind.
Actually, these two types of aircraft are relatively quiet, while others are very noisy (biplanes, etc.).
Thanks for looking and for your comments.
First rule with ultralights and such....never fly higher than you would like to fall. I don't think I want a ride; but the photos are very nice.
