I love to fly!  My vehicle of choice is a Buckeye powered parachute.  This machine is easy to fly, combines the pleasure of soaring like a bird, the comfort of an easychair and views that can't be beat!  Imagine yourself  hundreds of feet above the ground, the feel of the morning air caressing your face - no blast of air here, you fly at about 30 mph.  You prefer a closer view?  Drop down to see what the rabbits are up to!!  Follow the contours of the ground or soar with the birds - it's up to you!
