Powrachute Scores More Awards

Powrachute Corporation, a leading manufacturer in the active powered parachuting industry, recently returned from Sun 'n Fun, having won some major and much-deserved awards.

After four years of attending the show and entering the judging competition, Powrachute won the award of Best Powered Parachute in the 2003 Ultralight division. The Powrachute Pegasus was built by Hershell Elswick of Taylor (MI). Hershell is a traveling promoter for Powrachute along with Reggie Caudill, a Powrachute dealer from HiHat (KY).

The name of the Powrachute Pegasus given by Hershell is "Man o’ War."
