I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season, and that you’re ready for an exciting year that will hopefully be filled with lots of flight. For those of you who are somewhat local, I’m busy helping plan the 2019 Illinois UL/lsa Symposium – look in our calendar section for the date, and check out the iuac FaceBook page for details as I get them arranged. As you can see by our spectacular cover, Jeff Hamann got to have an adventure that I truly envy, as that’s the area of the globe that I’d most like to visit. He got to fly his powered paraglider around the Great Pyramids at Giza, Egypt, and he’s been good enough to share the story with us. I wish we could have included all the wonderful photos that Jeff took, since they were breathtaking! Along with his reports on recreational aircraft news, Dan Johnson has a report on the 3rd Annual DeLand, Florida, Sport Aviation Showcase 2018. Sounds like they had a successful year. We have a story from Canadian reader Gaetan Bourgault on how he overcame a disability that most would think would make him unable to fly. Instead, he’s now a proud pilot of multiple aircraft and legal to fly in both Canada and the usa! A few years ago, John Rountree had his first, exciting ride in a gyro during the annual pra convention in Mentone, Indiana. He still remembers the experience quite vividly, and has a humorous reminiscence for us to enjoy. After the DeLand Showcase, Roy went on to visit Eric Dufour to learn about his new SkyKart and to watch some folks being trained in the machine. It sounds like a much more safe way to train Part 103 students than the old methods. We also have some short videos on our FaceBook page. In his Incidents column, Jeff Goin reminds us of the importance of actually using our brain cells when flying in front of spectators. It doesn’t do much for the sport if you crash during a demo flight, after all! Chris Pine tells us of some of the things that he learned while flying over the Grand Canyon many years ago. As always, we also have some press releases for you, great products from our advertisers, and a calendar of upcoming events so that you can start to plan your travels for this year. Have a happy 2019! Editorial
