It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s a paramotor! At first glance I couldn’t tell what was overhead, but after meeting Johnston, the operator, he said he was flying a a paramotor. Johnston was having a fantastic time and it looked super fun, if not (more than) a little scary.
A paramotor is simply a powered paraglider and you can read more here at wiki.
I gently mentioned to him that landing and taking off within the cordoned off nesting area in the parking lot wasn’t allowed, and he seemed to understand.
