Tonights guest: Mark Barron

A little about my PPG. I learned to fly in 2017 from USPPA instructor Michael O'Daniel out of Northern Virginia. He has recently passed away (fatal PG accident in Columbia in 2020). I learned on an Air Conception 130 and since replaced the motor with a Moster 185 on that titanium frame. I fly a MacPara Charger 25M. I have my Tandem Exemption for Trike and have a Fly Products Xenit with Cosmos 300, I fly a BGD Cyclone 39M for solo and light tandems and a MacPara Pasha 5 @ 42M for larger tandems. I also have an electric SP 140 that I love for short flights. I'm getting into PG as well since Kyle and Travis from One Up Adventures had a PG beginner experience baked into their Costa Rica trip...and I loved it. I have a YouTube channel but admittedly I’m way behind on posting anything. I have most of my Wingman Challenge content in various stages of editing and expect it to go out soon https://www.youtube.com/@UCdCdDqmp8brkRyW0ZLbR0Yw

Here’s a link to a newsletter article I’m writing my Wingman Challenge experience on. Latest episode has Part 1. The next few months will document 3 or 4 more parts (one for each 400mile leg) https://www.flyingclub1.org/newsletters/latest_newsletter.pdf
