5 Flights to Make Before You Die
It seems to me, the whole arguement about flights in the canyon is about
noise. Come up with an air vehicle that doesn't make any noise, and the flight ban goes away. |

I haven't looked into it, but what are the restrictions -- if any -- for gliders, hang gliders and paragliders, in/near the Grand Canyon? --Sylvain |

They must make prior arrangements for removing the body at THEIR expense? Just a thought......... :/ |

I've ridden a motorcycle and driven a car throught that area, and it was stunning. I'll bet from the air it's fantastic! Wouldn't want an engine-out landing, though. Not too many options. There's very rarely no options. It's not as difficult as you might think. Try test flying an experimental with a alternative engine in the Hole for 150+ hours. If you keep your head screwed on straight an engine out landing is possible in alot of places. It will just take search and rescue a few days to get you out. :-) Thank god my V-8 has performed perfectly.. So Far. G Ben www.haaspowerair.com Jackson Hole Wy |

But the choice of landing sights really sucks. |

A little duct tape to the N numbers will help here. Ok. That makes sense. http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/NealHoward/checkerbird2.jpg I'm with you so far... Montblack |
