PPG Grandpa’s Paramotor Podcast

Ep 219 - Pierce Osborn - Off Grid Throttles - Run Into The Sky I grew up in NJ and studied Mechanical Engineering at Penn State, graduating in 2014. My career began at Dentsply Sirona, where I designed components for the Cavitron system. I then worked as a new product engineer at Yamaha, focusing on outfitting for their waverunners. At Heckler and Koch, I designed various weapon systems, including the high-profile NGSW (Next Gen Squad Weapon) project. My last role was lead design engineer at Daniel Defense, where I developed the DDPCC weapon system, set to be released later this year. In 2018, I began flying and founded Off-Grid Aviation in 2020 to innovate better cruise control mechanisms for paramotors. Leveraging my background in product development, I moved from my garage to a proper workshop, and Off-Grid Aviation is now my primary occupation. We have 46 resellers worldwide and continue to expand. Our latest product, the Off-Grid Lite throttle, offers a simplified solution for paramotor manufacturers https://www.off-grid-aviation.com/ https://www.instagram.com/offgrid_aviation/ Help Support Our Mission!!! https://runintothesky.betterworld.org/campaigns/support-our-mission Nonprofits We Support: USPPA https://usppa.org/ Run Into The Sky - http://www.RunIntoTheSky.com Contact Sean Symons 5017473558 Resurgence PPG https://www.resurgenceppg.com https://www.resurgenceppg.com/contact.html Project Airtime https://projectairtime.org/ 801-706-6076 projectairtime@gmail.com Aurora PPG https://aurorappg.org/ info@aurorappg.org Want to thank our partnered schools: Paramotor Arkansas http://www.ParamotorArkansas.com Contact: Sean 501-747-3558 Lone Star Paramotor http://www.LoneStarParamotor.com Contact Ron: ron@lonestarparamotor.com Wichita Paramotor https://www.wichitaparamotor.com/ Contact: Leo ictppg@gmail.com Paramotor Orlando https://www.paramotororlando.com/ Contact: Johnathan (407) 559-4772 Georgia Paramotor https://www.georgiaparamotor.net Contact: Jacob 912-536-3000

Ep 207 - Jeremy Howe - Run into the Sky paramotor podcast Bio: I found paramotors on YouTube in 2014. After graduating college & saving some money, I signed up for formal paramotor training with FlyMIPPG in 2019. I’ve flown in a couple states & Spain, but mostly fly in metro Detroit. I’m the current Treasurer & Board Member for the USPPA. I’ve completed my PPG3 rating, an siv, flown ppg at Oshkosh, bunch of fly-ins, etc blah blah. This year, I hope to get a tandem exemption, P2, & have a great time flying Egypt. I have a couple interesting stories about barely flying into my car, landing out because of a coast guard helicopter, being stopped by the Border Patrol, bunch of others. I’m looking forward to being on the show again. It looks like it’s been about 2 years since I was on the show. I try to make an Instagram post for every day I go flying. Looking forward to talking with you guys. https://www.instagram.com/look.how.cool.i.am ********************************************************************************* Top 10 Q&A about Paramotoring https://www.paramotorarkansas.com/pages/top-10-questions-and-answers-about-paramotoring ********************************************************************************* * About Paramotor Arkansas, Run Into The Sky Nonprofit, our mission and how you can help * Soar into the heart of our mission at Run Into The Sky, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering disabled veterans by providing them with the exhilarating opportunity to learn and fly paramotors.

Ep 206 - Shawn Lee Smith - Run into the Sky paramotor podcast I finished training in 2018. I live in hallsville Texas. My home flying areas are lots of pine trees. There are four of us in our local flying group and another one will be trained soon. My oldest son is one of the four of us foot launch flyers. It’s been a real joy to watch him learn to fly. Some of my favorite things are … flying adventures with our group. Flying with my son. Giving tandem flights and getting to share in their excitement. Traveling to new places and meeting new flyers. I get to drive to the west coast in February and July each year and to the east coast once a year always with my flying gear flying most everywhere I stop. I Am currently learning to free fly. It’s challenging since I’m a flatlander but I’m still trying. I’ve only flown at Henson Gap TN and Point of the Mountain UT so far. I’m ready for better weather!! I want to learn how to follow the flying weather year around next year. https://www.facebook.com/Gopappa?mibextid=2JQ9oc https://www.tiktok.com/@gopappa2?_t=8jmHLkib0he&_r=1 https://www.instagram.com/gopappa12?igsh=MW45eTZlb3FrcnFweA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr ********************************************************************************* Top 10 Q&A about Paramotoring https://www.paramotorarkansas.com/pages/top-10-questions-and-answers-about-paramotoring ********************************************************************************* * About Paramotor Arkansas, Run Into The Sky Nonprofit, our mission and how you can help * Soar into the heart of our mission at Run Into The Sky, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering disabled veterans by providing them with the exhilarating opportunity to learn and fly paramotors.

Kenny Schnatter began his aviation adventure in 2006. Kenny grew up riding and racing motocross. He always had a passion for thrill and excitement. When he discovered that flying could be like hitting a jump on his dirt bike but not coming down until an hour later he knew it was something that he had to persue. He went on to do some research and find out what paramotors were all about. He went for training to learn to fly paramotors. After realizing he thought it would be nice to have others enjoy the flight with him he trained for his license on a powered parachute and then fixed wing airplanes. Kenny always had a desire to help people in anyway he could. Kenny enjoyed paramotors so much he knew he had to find a way to help people with the sport and give them the best training he could for safety and to have fun! Kenny then decided to open Pennsylvania PPG LLC in 2022. Kenny now has his USPPA instructor rating to train foot launch and wheel launch paramotors. http://www.Pennsylvaniappg.com 570-994-0339 INSTAGRAM: @pennsylvania_ppg FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/PennsylvniaPPG FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/kenny.schnatter
