I know those places!! But not the pilot.

I read this morning on AV Web that Kestral Aircraft may be moving out of Brunswick?
They are looking in Wisconson?

Rule #1... Don't fly a powered parachute in Pesky winds...

Rule# 2 ... Don't believe it when a reporter says 75 feet in the air.. it was maybe 35-40 feet up... Still enough to kill ya if you fell , but not the same as a 8 story building

Dispatchers called the Federal Aviation Administration, but Taylor said they do not intend to investigate the crash.

Not moving! Klapmeier has a 10 year lease. The company is looking at other places for an additional facility, including an alternate site even in Maine; also New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and ?????????? I didn't read the AV Web piece, but as in most aviation stories, reporter's interpretation of matters can become skewed or inaccurate.
