Ultralight/Parachute Ultralight slowing cruising the North Metro/Wanaroo area at the moment. Doing maybe 20knots, very noisy :)
"VKI, NJ050 will you be attending the job?"
"Negative VKI, my desk is bolted to the floor".

I've seen a parachute ultralight flying over Swanbourne a number of times. It might belong to the same people who jump out of the Caribou :-)

Any ideas?
