Jubilation of Fun & Sane Flying 
PPG Fly-In

The Powered Para-Gliders gathered at Boyer Flight Park for some "fun and sane flying" and were rewarded by some pretty good weather for October.  Here are some photos, click on the small photo to see the large one.

Boyer Boys finish 3rd and 4th in 9th US Microlight Nationals!

Held concurrently with ASC KIMO 2006, the 9th US National Championships were held over Labor Day weekend.  Boyer Flight Park was represented by two pilots this year, 
Phillip Halsmer and Dave Ahlberg.

The hit of the show though was Boyer Friend Igor Kolpakchi and his new Aeroprackt 20

Igor flew in from New York (!) with his navigator Yuri, followed by ground crew Sasha

It soon became apparent that Boyer Friend Steve Bensinger was the one to beat and Boyer Friend Dave Hempy tried his best.  That left Phillip, Dave, and Boyer Friend Jon Jacobs to fight it out for the last podium spot.  The bronze went back and forth and with a win in the next to last task Dave overtook Phillip.  It was all to be decided in the precision engine-off landing task.  The pictures tell the story:

The task and the bronze went to Phillip Halsmer!

Here's our new National Champion, Steve Bensinger

Silver went to Dave Hempy

You know about third and fourth and here's fifth, JJ

As noted, the spectacular photos are by Randy Vallance and can be viewed on his site: asc_nationals_2006

Everyone had a great time and the Boyer tradition in ultralight competition continues......
