5th Annual Christmas Fly-In at Pine Island Airport
27 December 2010 ~ 2 January 2011
End 2010 and start 2011 with one of the few things that make sense in our crazy mixed up world - FLYING!!!!

For 7 days you are free to fly; free to meet new and exciting people who enjoy life like you; free to explore the Lee Islands. This year we offer new and exciting activities: Skydiving, Light Sport Instruction, aircraft sightseeing rides, fishing.

RV spots (w/electric + water) are limited are being reserved in advance

For $20 round trip Bob's Island Adventures will bring you and your paramotor to Cayo Costa Island for a day of flying a white sand beach. The family will enjoy the beach while you fly!  Of course this beach is only 4 miles away from Pine Island Airport - a short flight if the wind is right. Call Bob at (239) 877-7BOB for more information and let him know you may use his services to get to or from the beach! http://www.bobsislandadventures.com/

Campfire gatherings each night, food on site, and optional group activities for pilots and non-flying folks. Boating, art, beach, fishing - we have it available. That's the way we roll here on the island.

Call Paul @ 239-297-7570 for more information.

Keith B - Solos
Keith is usually a heating and air-conditioning kind of guy but here in Florida he was all FLYING!

Keith made use of the rental equipment during training and is making his equipment choice AFTER learning how to fly. Any one want bet that Keith will be happy with his choice?

 

John starts PlanetPPG training!
John has aviation in his blood. When he was a kid he rode in a basket in back of his dad's airplane. When he was old enough to sit up he started reaching for the stick. This photo was taken in 1954 - John is standing on the plane in front of the rudder. Now a very young 62 John is ready to try Powered Paragliding. John has passed his PPG1 written test, enjoyed a tandem flight and is kiting the wing very well. He is just waiting for a break in the weather to foot launch solo.

 

Bill S Solos  
Bill really enjoyed his solo flight. He has been dreaming of the day. Bill will be back to get in more flights and his USPPA PPG2 rating.

 

 

William (Bill) Solos!
Bill has flown many things ~ including F105 Starfighter and jumbos as a TWA Captain! Bill was in the USAF and was even a weatherman! Quite talented. The Paramotor you see here has been in this garage for 7 years - whispering to him "fly me". The MZ 313 engine is loud but runs great. 

Bill made his solo trike flight - another aircraft under his belt!
