Ep 207 - Jeremy Howe - Run into the Sky paramotor podcast Bio: I found paramotors on YouTube in 2014. After graduating college & saving some money, I signed up for formal paramotor training with FlyMIPPG in 2019. I’ve flown in a couple states & Spain, but mostly fly in metro Detroit. I’m the current Treasurer & Board Member for the USPPA. I’ve completed my PPG3 rating, an siv, flown ppg at Oshkosh, bunch of fly-ins, etc blah blah. This year, I hope to get a tandem exemption, P2, & have a great time flying Egypt. I have a couple interesting stories about barely flying into my car, landing out because of a coast guard helicopter, being stopped by the Border Patrol, bunch of others. I’m looking forward to being on the show again. It looks like it’s been about 2 years since I was on the show. I try to make an Instagram post for every day I go flying. Looking forward to talking with you guys. https://www.instagram.com/look.how.cool.i.am ********************************************************************************* Top 10 Q&A about Paramotoring https://www.paramotorarkansas.com/pages/top-10-questions-and-answers-about-paramotoring ********************************************************************************* * About Paramotor Arkansas, Run Into The Sky Nonprofit, our mission and how you can help * Soar into the heart of our mission at Run Into The Sky, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering disabled veterans by providing them with the exhilarating opportunity to learn and fly paramotors.

Ep 206 - Shawn Lee Smith - Run into the Sky paramotor podcast I finished training in 2018. I live in hallsville Texas. My home flying areas are lots of pine trees. There are four of us in our local flying group and another one will be trained soon. My oldest son is one of the four of us foot launch flyers. It’s been a real joy to watch him learn to fly. Some of my favorite things are … flying adventures with our group. Flying with my son. Giving tandem flights and getting to share in their excitement. Traveling to new places and meeting new flyers. I get to drive to the west coast in February and July each year and to the east coast once a year always with my flying gear flying most everywhere I stop. I Am currently learning to free fly. It’s challenging since I’m a flatlander but I’m still trying. I’ve only flown at Henson Gap TN and Point of the Mountain UT so far. I’m ready for better weather!! I want to learn how to follow the flying weather year around next year. https://www.facebook.com/Gopappa?mibextid=2JQ9oc https://www.tiktok.com/@gopappa2?_t=8jmHLkib0he&_r=1 https://www.instagram.com/gopappa12?igsh=MW45eTZlb3FrcnFweA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr ********************************************************************************* Top 10 Q&A about Paramotoring https://www.paramotorarkansas.com/pages/top-10-questions-and-answers-about-paramotoring ********************************************************************************* * About Paramotor Arkansas, Run Into The Sky Nonprofit, our mission and how you can help * Soar into the heart of our mission at Run Into The Sky, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering disabled veterans by providing them with the exhilarating opportunity to learn and fly paramotors.

Kenny Schnatter began his aviation adventure in 2006. Kenny grew up riding and racing motocross. He always had a passion for thrill and excitement. When he discovered that flying could be like hitting a jump on his dirt bike but not coming down until an hour later he knew it was something that he had to persue. He went on to do some research and find out what paramotors were all about. He went for training to learn to fly paramotors. After realizing he thought it would be nice to have others enjoy the flight with him he trained for his license on a powered parachute and then fixed wing airplanes. Kenny always had a desire to help people in anyway he could. Kenny enjoyed paramotors so much he knew he had to find a way to help people with the sport and give them the best training he could for safety and to have fun! Kenny then decided to open Pennsylvania PPG LLC in 2022. Kenny now has his USPPA instructor rating to train foot launch and wheel launch paramotors. http://www.Pennsylvaniappg.com 570-994-0339 INSTAGRAM: @pennsylvania_ppg FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/PennsylvniaPPG FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/kenny.schnatter

Paramotor Podcast GET YOUR PICTURES IN FOR THE NEXT CALENDAR HERE - https://www.paramotorarkansas.com/products/paramotor-calendar Ep 196 Nathan J Finneman https://www.paramotorarkansas.com/pages/run-into-the-sky-guest My name is Nathan. I’m a pilot based out of Colorado. I’ve flown all around the world in various aircraft. From gyro-copters to jets and everything in between. If it has wings, I’d try and fly it. I guess it’s safe to say I have a taste for adventure. There is something truly defining when it comes to to the relationship of “man and machine”. I have been in aviation for the last 15 years. I started out flying hang gliders in my late teenage years, and progressed to ultralights. My aviation career has had a multitude of variations. I operated leak detection system operations on the back of a helicopter for oil pipeline companies. Also few trainer jets specializing in guidance system applications. Paramotors game into my life around 2010, and it’s one of the few flying activities I can say still has the same magical affect on my soul. I flew airshows for about 5 years in paramotors with my buddy Chris Montes, had an absolute blast doing that. Also had several what I call code brown moments flying butt fans over the years. I represented Team USA with Matt Minyard in the World Pylon Racing Championships in Egypt in 2017. And flew through the arches of Moab with Bear Grylls. I have truly met some of the best people around the world because of this sport. I’m often asked, do I prefer flying airplanes more than paramotors. I often disagree. There is something about paramotoring that still encompasses the true freedom that pilots once experienced nearly 100 years ago in the barnstorming era. I feel like this is one of the last aviation realms that a pilot can still feel like a barnstormer. So all this talk about a world altitude record we recently set. And how the help of an amazing team individuals, paired with an incredibly short weather window with temperatures hovering at -14F and winds over 40kts put an American Flag back on the record books. * About Paramotor Arkansas, Run Into The Sky Nonprofit, our mission and how you can help * Soar into the heart of our mission at Run Into The Sky, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering disabled veterans by providing them with the exhilarating opportunity to learn and fly paramotors.
