Pictures of the Day: Gliding through a Maine sunset

By General Aviation News Staff · June 7, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Karissa Davan submitted this photo and note: “Pilot Ken Crowe is enjoying a sunset flight at Brunswick Executive Airport (KBXM) in Maine in his powered paraglider (PPG). In January 2021 Ken completed his PPG2-level training at Aviator PPG in Lake Wales, Florida. Proper training like the two-week course in Florida is the safe way to enter the sport. Ken is still refining his intermediate level skills by flying local flights. He carries an airband radio to safely share the skies with GA pilots. He even sports small strobe lights to aid in visual separation.”

“I was lucky enough to catch Ken as he glided by at sunset and he sent me a photo of what he was seeing and him from his spectacular perch.”
