Milestone Achieved by Local Paramotor Pilots

Paramotor pilots Alan Beetham and Mark Jenkinson celebrated on Saturday when they both logged their 100th flight.

Flying from Hull Aero Club (Leven), they headed to Hornsea Mere at an attitude of 2,000 where they then drifted down the coast to Mapplethorpe (waving to sun seekers and dog walkers alike).

They returned to land back at the clubhouse to the warm welcome and a cuppa. Later this year they hope to complete their 150th flight by flying along Hadrians Wall!

Alan, who also enjoys paragliding along the East Coast, has been a member of Hull Aero Club since 2008. He is the Trips Aboard Co-ordinator and later this year is planning a group fly of the sky above France!

Mark, a member of Hull Aero Club since 2009 holds the club paramotor attitude record of 7,000!
