Reading this one again, and thoroughly enjoying it. Baja Birdman has created a PPG adventure consisting of his own experiences, viewed from the rose colored sunglasses that optimistic pilots often wear. Even the spicy Jalapeno Pepper finale is something every paramotor pilot seriously considers when they fly in extreme and beautiful (and sometimes dangerous) places, especially alone. His colorful descriptions remind me of the many years I spent in Baja California traveling and surfing, long before I learned to fly. Once I discovered paragliding - both free flight and powered, the Baja peninsula became one of my favorite playgrounds. Now, I fear that progress has made it too dangerous for me to venture south into this region anymore. But I long for those days, and parts of this book were a welcome return to some of my most cherished memories. Thank you, Baja Birdman!
