Those Ultra Lights though are a pretty quiet mode of transportation. A couple years ago on an early morning walk on Bullards Beach in Bandon, two were flying around and one actually LANDED behind me. With the sound of the surf and wind, I didn't even hear him coming. I guess he had some sort of problem. He didn't stay landed long. But boy, was I surprised. lol.

I remember the two guys with their lawn chairs & balloons rising up to about 14,000 ft, July 14, 2012. That was a pretty cool adventure.....

Some of the ultralights are pretty awesome. When the weather is good, they fly around the nearby mountains here quite often.


Years ago i helped my stepdad build a motorized hang glider.


Have a wonderful peaceful Sunday...
