Luis Ruiz was in Villa Pesquera Isabela in the morning. This time with excellent flying conditions and the visit of the international pilot Dave Hinrisch, a native of New Hampshire, USA.
Luis provided him with the flight equipment, and Dave was flying and discovering the smoothness fly in the area and the beautiful coast of Isabela.
Dave was very impressed with the quality of the flight and the beauty of the beach coast. He even went far, indicating that of all the places he has flown, this was the best place or was very close to it. He is already promising to return in the near future.
Luis was also doing some introductory flights to the sport. This time to Nate and his wife Danielle, and her sister Kate. They are coming from Minnesota, USA, and were visiting the island. Here we present a Video that best resume their experiences.
Thursday, February 27, 2025 – Lajas…
Luis Ruiz and Edgardo Rivera visited José Sánchez Sr. at his land in the Lajas Valley. The idea was to fly the entire Valley, which for these days has been covered in fog. To achieve this, the 3 pilots arrived to Lajas before 6:30 AM.
Edgardo was the first to Take Off, and he managed to fly in the fog and he even gained altitude and managed to fly over the beautiful Parguera.
Luis, for his part, stayed helping José so he could take off, but there were some setbacks, and after a failed attempt, José decided not to fly.
Luis then took off and met Edgardo in the air and they flew to the town of Guanica. Upon returning to Lajas, at around 8:15 AM, the weather had already begun to turn thermal and both pilots decided to land.
In the afternoon, Luis Ruiz was working on a Paramotor project for his Foot Launch Tandems. He will be installing a powerful motor to a light cage, while Edgardo was not satisfied with flying in Lajas, later arrived to Humacao where he also made some flights.
