To all of you who are receiving the Sun
Lakes Aero Club monthly Updates:
I hope if you are ever in Issaquah, WA (just
East of Seattle) that you will take a ride with either Marc or Lan Chirico in
their tandem paragliders. It will be an
experience you will treasure. I took
three tandem flights with Marc and Lan when I was in my 80’s a number of years
ago and remember the flights as thrilling but not frightening. Marc and Lan will let you fly the
paraglider.
Vern Nelson
Hope you join our Paragliding
Team sooner than later...
