...the other evening, with the temps in the upper 30s, I heard what I thought was an air boat approaching. I can think of a lot better ways to get from point A to point B without qualifying for a Darwin Award.

I grew up down the road from a small airstrip. Kiwi, I think it was called, over by the Wild Onion restaurant. Used to see those things all the time.

kind of what I'm thinking...if the aircraft requires its own parachute you won't find me on it.

It has a parachute already deployed! What could go wrong?

Land I leased in STX was checked once a week by the ranch hand flying one of these around. He would call and tell me where the hogs were

It has a parachute already deployed! What could go wrong? Bounce around a bunch of trees like a pinball.

I'm thinking aerial spotting/hunting vehicle! I would love to hunt pigs from one of those...

There was a guy in Midland back in the 80's that would fly around and cuss at and throw beer cans at people. He must of been drunk because he was killed trying to land.

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

I would love to have one. The wing is a parachute so it's the safest way you could fly. They will fold up and fit in the trunk of a car. Great way to scout a property.
