    Any of you guys owners of powered parachutes?

    I'd love to buy one and almost did a couple of years ago when I went through my tech school training at Sheppard AFB. It was the kind with wheels (trike). I wished I would have bought then because the cost was less than 5k. Now it is over 6k and the rig I really want (foot launch) is over 8k.

    Just seeing what is out there...

    Nah, a ram air chute would not have the same lifting effect as a sheet LOL. I just live in a great area to participate in that sport. Down around Destin you see them all of the time flying up and down the beach.

    2 nude beaches in San Diego,,,,,, Black's is well known, but Moon Beach at Sunset Cliffs is hotter. This beach is carved out under the cliffs. Very, very private. Gotta be a goat to get there. Beer has gotta come down on a rope.

    Beautiful.

    Bulkyker,,,, know that one? Home of the submarine races?

    I never went to blacks because I heard it was mostly middle aged men that went there.
