Ep 199 - Hunter Mulhollon - Run Into The Sky Paramotor Podcast
Tune in for an unforgettable episode filled with passion, camaraderie, and the unmistakable spirit of the paramotoring community. Let's soar together on the Run Into The Sky podcast! Hey guys!
My name is Hunter Mulhollon. I am a fairly new pilot that entered into the world of PPG in June of this year. I have been slowly progressing since then. Now I currently have about 3 hours logged in the sky! I am very eager to continue learning and honing in on my skills and knowledge. I come from the world of cars: building hot rods and import tuner cars and selling parts for said vehicles. I document most of my progression with paramotoring along with my small online business and my life on social media mainly through my personal Facebook page. I also have a YouTube channel called HunterTuned https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCanabQ3FAy_QfjwX8d_zR9g

Ep 198 - Trevor Hartz - 605 Paramotor
Greetings, I'm Trevor Hartz, a proud resident of Sioux Falls, SD, and the visionary behind 605 Paramotor. By day, I lead crews in HVAC construction, and when the sun sets, I channel my creativity as a tattoo artist at Urban Ink. Amidst this bustling life, I cherish the aviation world, a passion shared by my five kids who, undoubtedly, are my greatest co-pilots. In my spare time, I find joy in simple pleasures—whether it's navigating virtual realms through video games or transforming houses into homes through my remodeling endeavors. The skies have beckoned me, and next year, I plan to take my kids on tandem adventures, instilling in them the thrill of flight. Having trained with Lonestar Paramotor in Texas a year and a half ago, little did I know that this journey would lead me to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others. I'm on a mission to grow the paramotor community in our region, currently standing strong with just two fellow pilots. Let's spread the love of this exhilarating sport together. Meet me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/trevor.hartz
, where I share my adventures and connect with fellow enthusiasts. If you have any questions or if there's anything I can do, feel free to reach out. As a prior military member, I understand the importance of service, and I'm here to make a positive difference in our community. ********************************************************************************* Top 10 Q&A about Paramotoring https://www.paramotorarkansas.com/pages/top-10-questions-and-answers-about-paramotoring

Ep 196 Nathan J Finneman https://www.paramotorarkansas.com/pages/run-into-the-sky-guest
My name is Nathan. I’m a pilot based out of Colorado. I’ve flown all around the world in various aircraft. From gyro-copters to jets and everything in between. If it has wings, I’d try and fly it. I guess it’s safe to say I have a taste for adventure. There is something truly defining when it comes to to the relationship of “man and machine”. I have been in aviation for the last 15 years. I started out flying hang gliders in my late teenage years, and progressed to ultralights. My aviation career has had a multitude of variations. I operated leak detection system operations on the back of a helicopter for oil pipeline companies. Also few trainer jets specializing in guidance system applications. Paramotors game into my life around 2010, and it’s one of the few flying activities I can say still has the same magical affect on my soul. I flew airshows for about 5 years in paramotors with my buddy Chris Montes, had an absolute blast doing that. Also had several what I call code brown moments flying butt fans over the years. I represented Team USA with Matt Minyard in the World Pylon Racing Championships in Egypt in 2017. And flew through the arches of Moab with Bear Grylls. I have truly met some of the best people around the world because of this sport. I’m often asked, do I prefer flying airplanes more than paramotors. I often disagree. There is something about paramotoring that still encompasses the true freedom that pilots once experienced nearly 100 years ago in the barnstorming era. I feel like this is one of the last aviation realms that a pilot can still feel like a barnstormer. So all this talk about a world altitude record we recently set. And how the help of an amazing team individuals, paired with an incredibly short weather window with temperatures hovering at -14F and winds over 40kts put an American Flag back on the record books. * About Paramotor Arkansas, Run Into The Sky Nonprofit, our mission and how you can help * Soar into the heart of our mission at Run Into The Sky, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering disabled veterans by providing them with the exhilarating opportunity to learn and fly paramotors.

Originally from England, I have been in the USA since early 2003.

Ep 192- Stay Bad - Danielo
Hey, my name Is Danielo and It is no accident that the motto of my school is “Learn to fly, run into the sky!” I’m Brazilian born, raised in France, and now make my home in Los Angeles. Before I became a pilot, I traveled the world as a professional dancer, choreographer, and teacher, exploring the cultures of over 50 countries! My first foray into extreme sporting was skydiving, in which I received my A license. My life mantra is to STAYBAD, meaning to Stay Beyond Any Definitions, to live life without limits, and to push oneself to greater heights. One of my main pursuits is flying and teaching others to fly. It is extremely gratifying share the freedom and beauty of being outdoors in this unique way—flying over sand dunes, the ocean, poppy fields—it’s like nothing else. I have been a pilot for 6 years and am a USPPA certified instructor as well as being certified in tandem flights. When paramotoring, I fly with the Qubik 21m in custom colors. For paragliding, I use the Hook 5 p, 24m, in golden. When I am not flying, dancing, or teaching, you can find me creating videos, combining my love of flying with original content sharing my adventures.
