Powerchute Landing

My grandpa is the coolest guy. He teaches himself everything, and then excels at it. His latest is teaching himself how to pilot a powerchute. He's an instructor now.

This is a powerchute:



He took me up last week and it was awesome. Click the image above to be taken to the gallery. We saw moose and purdy country.

Below is a video of our landing:

By the way, above the windshield, that's a shotgun rack. He drives with his feet and picks off coyotes. Apparently you get money for it or something from Fish and Game.
